Looking in vs. looking out. That is, when there are issues that we face or problems to be dealt with in our day, where do we typically turn? Where does the blame go?

Philosophical Engineering

It almost seems that in our culture of the United States of America that when there are issues, it never seems to be our own fault and the blame goes to someone else. The parents blaming the teachers for their son or daughter's poor school grades. The fans yelling at the referees for the mistakes of the calls during the game. Your boss exposing a mistake on the report and you having to quickly defend yourself because of the printer being broken that morning. 

Mistakes are part of the process and we all know that. But what we sometimes forget are the spaces we need to create in ourselves to allow for mistakes in our process. And this requires looking in.
