Did you know the term scapegoat refers to someone who is wrongly blamed for something, and the person who blamed the scapegoat was actually the one who originated the problem. In my eyes the scapegoat is someone who is the couragous one, one who doesn’t continue to stir the pot and cause more issues. To me the scapegoat is a warrior, “IF,”” they don’t feed the fire.

I’m sure we’ve all been scapegoats or the one who wrongly blamed someone for something he/she actually did. Why does this happen? Most of the time people want to blame others for what is going wrong in their life because it’s easier to blame others rather than have the courage to say, “Yes, I did that” or try to learn something from their mistakes.

I have learned being a scapegoat does not mean you are the trouble maker. Being a scapegoat means you are strong, and the person who believes or accuses you for their issues thinks you are weak and will break because of their accusations. Please know that if you are blamed for something that you did not do, this person undoubtedly is jealous of your personality and success.

Individuals who are insecure with themselves like to seek scapegoats if he/she are insecure themselves. Doing this blaming hightens their ego and makes him/her feel supieror. When their plan backfires they run without looking back. If you want to learn something from being blamed for something you didn’t do….do this….hold your head high, smile, be yourself, and never fall into one’s desire to make you feel insecure or small.

You are the brave one, the one the blamers only wish they could be like. Our world will be a better place if we stopped blaming others for our actions. Lift one another up and learn as many positives you can about others rather than trying to find negatives to make oneself feel better. Don’t let being a scapegoat bring you down, but let it lift you up with pride knowing you are admired enough to be blamed for other’s actions.
