self-condemnation

There is so much condemnation in the world today.

Feelings of guilt are universal, that’s why judgment, censure, and blame are so common. Our guilt feelings seem intolerable, and so we project them onto others.

We need to find some scapegoat, some victim so that we can unload the crushing sense of responsibility. We feel a surge of great relief when we can pin the blame on someone else.

Romans 2:1 "You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge another, you are condemning yourself."
