This world often tends to hold responsible not the one who is truly at fault, but the one who happens to be assigned responsibility. There’s nothing wrong in expecting that crimes in a region be addressed by the local police, or that government machinery be overseen by the elected representatives of that area.
But responsibility becomes distorted when it goes too far—when a group of people falls for a mania or illusion, and instead of blaming the mania itself, they blame the one person who resisted it. Similarly, when a group of students fails a subject due to their own lack of preparation, they may blame the student who actually passed, as if their success somehow caused the others' failure.
It’s strange how people often fail to acknowledge individual success, yet are quick to unite in blaming someone for collective failure.
Whether it’s a collective failure or a collective success, we must learn to take ownership—without disowning responsibility or unfairly placing it on others. Just because a crowd points a finger at someone does not mean that person is truly responsible in the eyes of truth—or eternity.
