Taking Own Responsibility instead of Blaming Others

Recently, in Indonesia there are double disasters or perhaps triple disasters, tsunami, volcano and flood even though the latter is not as severe as the other two.
And of course there are so many responses and comments with regards of those events.
But the interesting part is the comments that people wrote in facebook, I believe they are not directly affected.
They show sympathy and empathy to the victims but on the other hand they also blame government and even dare to ask God, why is this happen or Is God really angry ??

When I think and analyze again with more logic, I believe those unhappy events can be prevented except the natural disaster like tsunami and volcano.

For the case of flood in Jakarta or other areas in Indonesia.
We are easily blaming the government, because of this or that, never do this or that but never reflect on ourselves what we do to prevent the flood coming.
See, how many vehicles are there in Jakarta, the government has made the rules, but people always find the flaws and loopholes and always make use of them.


There are areas that not supposed to build for residentials or shopping centers but again, the developers and the rich people never care. They insist on building it to gain more.
After having a lot of money, they will leave the country and contribute it to other countries.

When the government wants to build or repair the road, the contractors will corrupt the materials and make the road able to use only for short term.

And when the flood coming, they easily curse and blame the government and even dare to say they want to change the government.
I believe even the genious people won't be able to repair the damage of the country.
It's about ATTITUDE that need to be repaired....

Second case is Merapi volcano eruption.
Of course we couldn't avoid the eruption but we could prevent many victims.
Well, I believe the government has warned the villagers there about active volcanoes even before it errupts.
But, are the people listening? They insist to stay and some even prefer to die in his house/village than moving to other part.
And when it happens, do we have right to blame others ? do we dare to ask God why is this happen ? do we dare to ask God, are You angry to us ?
It's all human fault and they must take full responsibility for the consequenses. It sounds cruel but it's the fact

Third case is tsunami.
This is coming unexpected, of course none can avoid it.
That's why, I have no comment for this but again, we don't need to ask God why is this happen or are You angry to us?
instead we must change our behavior towards the earth starting from simple deed 

Well, I just hope when Richie is big enough to read and understand this, he will care to earth and take full responsibility for every thing he does and never blames others
