possible repercussions of blaming someone for something he/she didn't do

It is human nature to blame someone for something. Someone always has to take the blame in our society. Having someone to blame is like a way to take your anger away.

Blaming yourself, even when you are the one who deserves the blame, is a very hard thing. Instead of blaming themselves for their problems, a lot of people blame someone else. For example, if you are fat, a lot of people don't blame themselves for eating too much. They might blame their parents or their generation.

I once blamed my sister for something bad that I did. I ate the last cookie from the cookie jar that was supposed to be saved for my dad when he got home from work. Eating the cookie, I was not even worried about the punishment because I figured I could blame my younger sister. When my mom found out that there were not any cookies left, she questioned us. I immediately denied and told her that I saw my younger sister, Maddie, eat the cookie. Maddie, flabbergasted, denied. Eventually, my mom found out that I ate it. I got in even more trouble for lying. When you blame someone else, you get in even more trouble and have an even worse consequence for the bad thing you did if someone finds out the truth. If you blame someone else for something that you should take the blame for, like being fat, then you are just lying to yourself. Lying to yourself cannot be very good for your personal being, especially if you honestly believe that lie.

The previous examples are pretty much all minor blaming issues. There are also bigger blaming issues, such as ones that involve the government. For an example that is relevant to this time, when the twin towers were attacked, people blamed the terrorists. The terrorists were the one who should have been blamed for this act. Later on when people did "research," some people blamed our own government. That was putting the blame in the wrong place, which is not good.
