A case against victim-blaming

 Humans tend to be very bad at knowing this difference, including and especially myself, but there is a very real difference between guilt and regret.

(All guilt encompasses regret. Not all regret involves guilt.)

There is also a difference between allowance and causation. We very emphatically learn to understand the difference when it comes to understanding why God allows suffering right now. Just because currently he permits suffering, that does not mean that he causes it. 

Jehovah doesn't make mistakes. We do. 

However, just because we regret using a method that allowed evil to surpass us, that does not mean we are the cause of the evil, nor does it mean that we are deserving of it.

A person might have only one lock on their door instead of three. In a neighboring city, there is a series of break-ins. Upon hearing the news, some people decide to install extra locks, While others say that is so far away, so long as you don't see suspicious characters near your house, you are fine with just one lock. The person in question does not install additional locks.

      They are robbed, and their neighbors tell them "you should have had three locks."

      Could additional locks have prevented that break-in? Possibly. Realistically, we don't know. The robbers aren't going to tell you. 

       The possibility that it could have prevented the robbery, naturally makes the victim regret not having more locks. 

        This makes the victim a person who carries regrets, but it does not make them a person who carries guilt of someone else's evil actions.
