The blame game/righteous positions

It is human nature to always want to blame others. The rules of this game are as follows: It's not my fault, it's your fault. I didn't do it, and I am going to make you suffer even if I have to destroy my life in the process. The game is to look for any person, place, or thing and make them responsible for what's going on (or not going on) in your life. It's a game where nobody wins.

Rich people are greedy
Women should be passive
Everyone should graduate from college
Death is bad
Failing is bad
Everyone should leave happy
Republicans are big-business fascists who care only about money
People are idiolts
Men have it easy
Divorce is bad
Anger is bad
Hate is bad
People shouldn't be judgmental
It's a dog-eat-dog world
I don't need anybody
I'm right and you're wrong

"There's a hole in my sidewalk" (same behaviors over and over again)
Chapter 1
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in
I am lost, I am helpless
It isn't my fault
It takes me forever to find a way out

Chapter 2
I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I pretend I don't see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I am in the same place
But, it isn't my fault
It still takes a long time to get out

Chapter 3
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it is there
I still fall in, it's a habit
My eyes are open
I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately

Chapter 4
I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it

Chapter 5
I walk down another street
