It's Not Your Fault

Everything bad, from temper tantrums, drunkenness, and road rage to “pathological lying, cheating, stealing, physical aggression and drug abuse,” is now a disease.  Everything is physiological or genetic and treated with drugs.  Nothing is your fault. You’re an innocent victim.

Furthermore, many of us like it that way.  We like the idea that whatever is wrong with us amounts to an organic disorder, that there’s no sin, no weakness, no deficit of character on our part.  Our egos love that; it comforts us.
