Don’t put yourself into what you observe about the behavior of others. Stay with yourself. It doesn’t matter what anyone anywhere is doing or saying relative to your potential for inner development. The expression “The buck stops here” is valuable as long as we understand it to mean that these recurring blasts of unconscious energy we experience in moments of feeling aggravated with others are to remain conscious within ourselves. We must not attribute their cause to someone or anything else outside of us. When we work with this truth and its instruction, then we begin to die to the blame-casting nature.
