The three big hindrances to problem-solving and coping are whining, blaming, and damning.
Whining, blaming, and damning show that you are putting ego pleasure ahead of relationships.
Whining, blaming, and damning show that your priority is self-righteousness.
Whining, blaming, and damning show that you are willing to sacrifice yourself and others for the pride of knowing better.
Whining, blaming, and damning are when you hypocritically collect and send out the negative while being mad at others for doing the same.
Whining, blaming, and damning are when you do evil in the name of good.
Whining, blaming, and damning are when you serve the negative under the pretext of the good.
Whining, blaming, and damning are when you cover your service to the negative with the positive.
Whining, blaming, and damning are the favorite strongholds of those with a victim mentality.
Whining, blaming, and damning are the payoffs of codependents.
Whining, blaming, and damning maintain the cycle of abuse.
Whining, blaming, and damning are part of the drama game of abuse.
Whining is abuse as whining promotes and incorporates damning.
Blaming is abuse as it is depowering by keeping you externally referented. When you are externally referented you try to control others instead of self, and so are out of control or without your personal power.
Damning is abuse as damning objectifies and dehumanizes. Objectifying is the prerequisite to genocide.
Damning occurs at every stage of the cycle of abuse. Without damning there can be no abuse.
The roles in the cycle of abuse are: judge, prosecutor, offender, victim, defender, jailer. Damning is what all the roles have in common.
