>>Imagine if every single one of us embraced the concept that everything that happens to you in life is your responsibility, your fault, your credit, your decision. If every single one of us went through life believing that everything we have, everything we screwed up everything we lost everything we gained was a result solely of the decisions and actions we did. Imagine how difficult that would be for most people. Because that means that every time something goes wrong in your life, you have to then blame yourself and you have to look inside yourself, and you have to be introspective.

So, are you guys saying that if you are an adult woman walking in the park and you are gang raped by a group of Hell Angels members it is your fault? Or if you are driving in the highway and a drunk driver collides head on with you killing most of your family it is also your fault? What if you are accused of a murder you did not commit, your fault too?

The "everything that happens to you in life is your responsibility, your fault, your credit, your decision." should be much more qualified than just adding "as adults".
