Thoughts of the world

When something bad happens, and the child tells that it is not his fault, but of his brother, what do you do as parent?

Do you believe him, because when you disagree with him, he will be whining and angry?
Or do you teach him that we are all responsible?

When a person get hurted by a car, that drives through the red light,  who is then responsible?
Some people will say the person of traffic light company.  Or maybe it is the programmer of the light?  Did de technolocy in the car fail to detect?
Did the victim violate the rules, while he did not take enough care for eventually traffic through right?

Should we hunt the inventors of the colours red, orange and green?

No matter what.  We were not there, we are not guilty.  And we can point to any other, to say that they are the bad ones.

The ones who use those powers should realize that their judgement,  might have longer and stronger effect at the ones who are involved.  Who is treaten bad,  and punished without being guilty, will not easily forget. And for all, they will not give the 'parent with power'  the respect that they want to get.

Be honest.
Take the consequences

It is not important who did do the thing. It is important how to handle it, so be better prepared for next icidendt. Because it will come, sooner or later.
