Put the blame on me

My current situation of life (nothing serious, just very stressful times) makes me want to ask who's in charge of all of this. Most importantly, who can I blame? Who put in me here, in this life, in this system? What happened to freedom? Why are all these outside factors determining what I can and can not be?

Again, I guess it's a matter of choice. Often I'm not free to choose my circumstances. What freedom really is about, is inner freedom. I believe I have the chance of choosing how I let the circumstances affect me. Not always but most of the time. I'm in charge of my life, I'm not a puppet being thrown around in some wicked game. Whatever comes, I can take as a possibility to grow and still keep my inner peace or I can try to fight back and only damage myself. Acceptance is the key.

So the real question is not who's in charge. It's why am I not taking responsibility. Why am voluntarily letting myself be like this? Why am I letting the circumstances push me down and determine me?
