Thanks. Yes, we shouldn't argue if we are the ones at fault. This quote points out the obvious of course, but unfortunately, we're too quick to find fault with others, because it's easier than admitting we're at fault ourselves, even though we know deep down we are the ones at fault.
I would say our objectives remain the same, to pass the buck, but unless we take control and admit we are at fault, everyone involved will come to struggle. When we admit we are the ones at fault; life becomes easier.
Yes of course, stress is par for the course. You're right, there would be no point in blaming an imperfect world for its imperfections; after all an imperfect world will always have its imperfections.
There's nothing we can do about that, but collectively we can try and individually we can make a difference.
You can't argue with that. I guess it depends on your objectives.

Without progressive thinking and a little humility, we'll always find fault in something.
But once we start thinking through deeper stages of consciousness, we'll find a remedy for anything.
Thanks Tim. Yes, absolutely and I agree. Life would certainly be very stressful if we didn't.
Ilana, we will always have stress, there isn't anything that isn't after you in this life; it comes with the territory.
But I constantly dream and even make guesses for a remedy, instead of always blaming an imperfect world for its imperfections.
