This behavior--of blaming others for their unhappiness--is, if you think about it, actually antithetical to what a person who has truly taken personal responsibility for his own happiness would do. There are two main reasons why one would blame others: either because it makes one feel more confident about ones theory or worldviews, or because it makes one appear superior to the other person. For instance, blaming others may make one feel more confident about the theory that happiness ultimately lies in the head, or may make one feel (emotionally) stronger than the other person. To a person who has assumed complete responsibility for his own emotions, however, neither of these benefits would be appealing, since he would realize that blaming others is nothing but a clever way of using the others weakness to boost ones own ego and hence, a devious form of blaming the environment in order to feel happy. In other words, BLAMING OTHERS FOR THEIR UNHAPPINESS is TANTAMOUNT to SHIRKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for ONES OWN EMOTIONAL STATE and hence, not something that a person who has taken personal responsibility for his happiness would do.
