Blethering this morning with two women, I was hoping to get a word in, the subject of counselling people came up. One who was employed in similar business said that the biggest problem today was people being unwilling to 'take responsibility.' I had to agree that she might be right here and wondered why?
Society, that means 'us' has brought us to this level from government legislation, teachers fancy ideology (often unwritten and confused) and parents who themselves refuse much responsibility and await others to take the blame or sort things out for them.
This is not new, Cain slew Abel and when asked about this did not take responsibility, he would have avoided such if he could but it was brought to his attention anyway. People, including ourselves, are no different today. However the social conventions that controlled us have been eroded by liberalism at every level. The school pupil, sorry 'student' gets off with wrong doing with no punishment, the punishment for crime does not fit, politicians at all levels lie to us (see 'Brexit') and retain their positions, and the media leads us in celebrating badly behaved broken celebs and simplifying life into 'good and bad' with no moral base in between.
The result appears to be an attitude in many that when things go wrong it is not their fault it must be someone else who is responsible. There is great difficulty in taking responsibility upon ourselves.
Not everyone is thus imbued but there is that streak crying out throughout society and it continues to erode individuals life, sometimes with sad results.
I of course am completely innocent.
The great thing this weekend is that the Heart of Midlothian remain top of the league. Not only but also Hibernian, the wee team from Leith find themselves in second place and the even wee'er team Livingstone are now third in the table. The Glasgow media still speak of the blue and green bigots of course but the reality is their teams are guff and we know it.
Things might change of course, their referees, SFA and media will do all they can to overthrow us but we can defeat them once again.

A big boy - Boris? - did it and ran away....
I remember the days when Reggie Maudling was thought of as being the lowest of the low....and Ernie Marples and his road building contracts not far behind....
Now they would be CEOs of Carillion type companies, adored by the press and thrown money by government.
Fly, Ernest would be PM under this lot.
