The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to support those who are up, but not the same people
when they are
down.

This is known as being a fair-weather friend.

The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to believe that nobody can interfere in anyone's life
from
idealistic motives, while people do (and have always done, and will
always most likely do) interfere in people's lives from non-idealistic
motives.

This is known as hypocrisy.

The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to do nothing to prevent wrong.

This is known as moral supinity.

The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to deny support where it's needed and think that
nobody can be of
help to another person.

This is known as cowardice.

The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to avoid things that are either shared responsibility
or that involve emotional share.

This is known as selfishness.

The idea that everyone is responsible for everything that happens to
them leads people to blame those who are down for their misfortune,
while doing
nothing to those who are causing the problem.

This is known as evil.

It is for these reasons that I stepped away from New Age.

I still support things like meditation and wind chimes. But the
worldview and ethic behind it, I find completely repugnant and will do
nothing to support.

This is known as PIGEON HOLING!

It makes gross assumptions and faulty conclusions.
It then makes absolute statements based on those misapprehensions.
