I hate the expression “mistakes were made.” Because it avoids blame.
You act as if removing guilt or taking blame away fixes things. It doesn’t.[to Dr. Wu]
People left behind always get the blame.
Often it’s the good coppers who shoulder the blame for the bad.[to John]
Blame’s harder than guilt. And also easier. If you assume the worst of everyone, it’s easy not to get close.
Blame has no end. That’s what makes it irrational.
