Why Do We Want Problems to Be Someone’s Fault?
To scapegoat, in many cases, is to refuse to accept disorder as a fact of life. When we believe it’s in our power to solve basically any problem, we inadvertently dedicate our lives to it.
People deny and blame others for their problems for the simple reason that it’s easy and feels good, while solving problems is hard and often feels bad. Forms of blame and denial give us a quick high. They are a way to temporarily escape our problems, and that escape can provide us a quick rush that makes us feel better.
