"Most of us aren’t set in who we are; we get swayed by the wind. The direction and strength of the wind is often not of our choosing. Hence, if we have to blame someone, wherever possible, we should default to blaming the circumstances and have compassion for the person. The alternative, badmouthing others, makes us worse than them."  - Dr. Amit Sood
