"Who Should We Blame and Resent?" is a contemporary free verse series structured as a three-act, ten-song musical based on the Chinese idiom 誰怨誰咎 (Who to blame, who to resent?). This work depicts the journey of spiritual maturation, beginning with the human emotions of resentment and blame, progressing through self-reflection, and ultimately reaching acceptance and transcendence of all things.
Act I, "The Beginning of Resentment," honestly addresses the natural emergence of resentful emotions when faced with life's misfortunes and frustrations. "The First Resentment" portrays the initial anger felt before life's absurdities; "Fingers Pointing at Others" explores the psychology of blaming others for one's misfortunes; "Voices Blaming the World" shows the cursing of structural inequality and fate; and "Accumulating Complaints" reveals the process by which unresolved resentment becomes toxic.
Act II, "The Journey of Awakening," deals with the turning point where our gaze shifts from the external to the internal. "Me Before the Mirror" represents the courage to view oneself objectively; "The Weight of Choice" depicts the process of realizing that we ourselves were the agents of choice in every moment; "Discovering Responsibility" shows the maturity of accepting responsibility for one's own life; and "The Beginning of Forgiveness" portrays the first step toward forgiving others and oneself.
Act III, "Acceptance and Transcendence," reaches a realm beyond resentment. "Letting Go of Resentment" captures the liberating moment of releasing the anger and resentment we had clung to; and "The Realm of 'Who to Blame, Who to Resent?'" contains the philosophical awakening of accepting everything as it is without blaming anyone. This work demonstrates that while resentment is a natural emotion, true freedom and peace can be achieved when we move beyond it toward reflection and acceptance. Each song is written in free verse form, rejecting formalized structures and vividly capturing the complex emotions and awakening processes of the human interior.

This work "Who Should We Blame and Resent?" is an artistic creation based on the Chinese idiom 誰怨誰咎 (Who to blame, who to resent?). The processes of resentment, blame, forgiveness, and acceptance depicted in the work are based on the author's philosophical reflection and poetic imagination, and do not represent or generalize everyone's experiences or psychological states.
This work does not intend to deny or suppress feelings of resentment. Anger and resentment are legitimate human emotions, and feeling these emotions is natural and necessary, especially when one has suffered unjust harm. The "not blaming" addressed in the work does not mean abandoning legitimate accountability, but rather concerns spiritual freedom—not harming oneself by being trapped in resentment.
The work's message has no intention whatsoever of shifting responsibility to victims or reducing structural injustices to individual problems. Clear accountability and the realization of justice are necessary for social inequality, discrimination, violence, and other issues, and individual spiritual maturity cannot replace the improvement of social structures.
This work cannot replace psychological therapy or counseling. If you are experiencing psychological difficulties such as trauma, depression, or anger management, please seek professional mental health services. "Forgiveness" and "acceptance" are individual choices and should not be forced.
The content of the work is the author's personal artistic expression and does not represent any specific religious, philosophical, or political position. While concepts from Eastern philosophy are borrowed, there is no intention to promote any particular ideology.
