+Driving all blames into oneself applies whenever we complain about anything,
+even that our coffee is cold or the bathroom is dirty.  We may think that we
+are the voice of the world, that we are speaking on behalf of others, but we
+are simply speaking on behalf of ourselves.  According to this slogan,
+everything is due to our own ego fixation, which makes us very vulnerable.
+Consequently, we provide an ideal target.  We get hit, but nobody meant to hit
+us--we are actually inviting the bullets.
