"People need to stop blaming others for how their life turned out and make the best of what they have now."

I saw this quote elsewhere and wondered what y'all think.
I have mixed feelings. Way back when I was still in counseling my therapist told me I needed to stop blaming other people for what happened in my past. I was frustrated. I didn't feel like I was blaming anyone. Part of it was that I was finally recognizing what happened was abuse. Mainly I was pissed that I was having to clean up the mess other people created.
On the other hand, I get tired of hearing people whinge about the unfairness of life. Things like the rich should give up their wealth to support the poor. Recently, complaints about wishing people have happy holidays. I was struggling this holiday season. All the happy, happy, joy, joy was painful to be around, but I would not begrudge others.
I guess, for me, it comes down to personal responsibility. Crappy things happen to people who did nothing to cause it. Life isn't fair. Poop happens. It's what we do with the life we are handed.
