"The ability to hate and blame turns the focus off myself"
paraphrased, is what you said.
AG you KNOW that isn't true, you know that the ability to hate and blame is as strong as the ability to love and forgive, and the focus is always, ALWAYS completely ON yourself even when you think it isn't. The thoughts you think about others are the thoughts that come back to haunt your own self-esteem; your feelings about others are really projections of your feelings about yourself. It's true, what gurus of spirituality and the mind have been saying for thousands of years is absolutely true.
If you hate and blame others and the only way for you to stop doing that is to not be with those people, honey you must not be with them anymore. I believe truly that it's a matter of your life or... death, spiritual, emotional dying.
Is that what you want for yourself the rest of your life? You need to choose, hon'.
