BLAMING AND ACCUSING
So, just what are Blaming and Accusing? Well, to blame is to assign responsibility for a fault or a wrong committed. It is to charge someone for wrongdoing. It is to denounce and to indict. Correct or incorrect? And just what is it to accuse? Well, to accuse is to use a tone of voice which will indicate your belief in someone's guilt or culpability. It is, in French, J'Accuse, which means I Accuse, which was an open letter and a the title of a book written by a writer named Emile Zola in defense of the events that led to the Dreyfus Affair, which was a political and criminal justice scandal in France that went from 1894 to 1906. It consisted of an accusation toward a French artillery officer named Alfred Dreyfus, of Jewish descent, who was wrongly convicted of treason in 1894 and sentenced to life in prison. This was an alleged crime which later proved to be untrue. Dreyfus was defended via Emile Zola's writings and was ultimately exonerated. But all that aside, what, you may all well ask, is another methodological benefit for blaming and accusing? It is, in an oblique manner, a mechanism for stroking the levels of human self-worth. When used correctly it raises one's esteem, one's amour-propre, as they say, and more. This last is often viewed with a negative eye when it is prompted by a desire to appear, true or not, to be better than the best. When you have it within your means to find fault with the actions and deeds of one of your fellow men, and you take it upon yourself to find that fault by blaming and accusing that person with whom you find a strong leaning to imperfection, you have then accomplished your task of stroking that part of you that thinks, feels, and makes decisions. Sometimes, that part is associated with feeling overly important or conceited and, at the same time, it is also to just elevate your basic sense of self-worth. You could say, if you wanted to use more exact words, that using these terms are ego inflating. They are, to put it a bit more concisely, our methods of using blaming and accusing as modes of self-elevation. Stroke that ego, smooth that esteem, raise your pride, increase your worth, hoist your own regard, and increase your dignity. Mission accomplished. Is there anyone amongst us, I ask you one and all, who does not strive with might and main and with all one's vigor to try and shine in the eyes of our compatriots? Why do I ask you this? Because this common need to show our worth to the world is one of my Pet Peeves for this week. That is why.
