Choices we make

         Since the unfortunate passing of Whitney Houston, I've been hearing alot of people putting the blame on Bobbie Brown. That he was a bad influence and was her downfall. I even agreed. And then I got to really thinking about it. Let me just say now that I have never been a big fan of either one ( not my type of music ) but, Whitney was blessed with an absolutely beautiful voice and I didn't mind hearing a song of hers from time to time. Bobbie Brown on the other hand, I couldn't even name one of his songs. So yes, I agreed and then thought about it. Ok, he probably wasn't the best influence in her life, but is he to blame for the path that she took? Isn't she responsible for any wrong decision she made? It seems that the majority of people won't accept the blame for their own actions or decisions. I've seen it so many times at work over the years, someone is taking heat over something they did wrong, and they try throwing someone else under the bus. Look at politicians, perfect example, how often do any of them admit any blame on themselves? Talk about finger pointing! Then there's the ones facing criminal charges, the blame is always on their abusive childhood or where they grew up and live etc. C'mon people start putting the blame where it belongs, on yourself. We are responsible for our own decisions and actions, no one else. I have made many wrong decisions over the years, resulting in many stupid actions and many of  them probably would not have presented themselves to me had I not been with the person or persons I was with at the time. But ultimately, every wrong thing I have ever done and every wrong decision I have made was my fault and no one else's. Thanks for listening, Kevin
