Musings on blame

The great lie of the modern age is that we need to have an "opinion" on everything, along with the need to assign blame.

On Ukraine, on Trump or Biden, on famous people in the news, on this or that social issue, on powerful people throughout history.

On your nation, on your city, on your church, on your family, on yourself. 

Reality is complicated. It's hard to uncover the truth of things. And moreover, even when things are uncovered, we aren't very good at weighing the merit or moral quality of this action compared to that. 

We cannot set wrongs to right, here on earth, we can only mitigate the damage, and deal with things as they are. As a righteous man said once,

"Do not judge anything before the appointed time. Wait until the Lord returns. He will bring to light what is hidden in the dark. He will show the intents of the heart. And, at that time, each person will finally receive their reward from God."
