The Art and Danger of Distracting Ourselves

In this excellent blog posting, Ada Hasloecher uses an episode of he five-time Emmy Award winning Best Comedy series, Frasier to illustrate all the ways we refuse to take responsibility for our lives. How it often seems preferable to blame all those “thems” out there who are doing it to us.

As Ada has I’ve seen miracles happen in my mediations when one or both of the parties acknowledge and admit their culpability for the demise of the marriage. Instead of passing the blame, they own it. Freedom!
