Quote of the day inspired by Homer's Odyssey: 'Men are so quick to blame the gods, they say that...' — and why the worst disasters are always self-inflicted

Consider an investor who ignores obvious warning signs, loses a fortune on risky cryptocurrency investments, and then blames the global financial system. Or a company executive who mismanages a major merger, drives the business toward bankruptcy, and blames unstable market conditions instead of poor leadership. The reaction is common: when things go wrong, people often look for someone or something else to blame instead of accepting responsibility for their own decisions.
