Presuming that you mean that ignoring the problem doesn't make it go away, you're misunderstanding my point.
What I'm saying is that blame/anger/etc is baggage that you don't need to carry forever. It's a guest that's sleeping on your couch indefinitely, preventing you from using that couch for sitting. To me, dwelling on the fault of others (even in the name of justice) is often as empty as putting a "so-and-so broke me" sign on an elevator -- it doesn't fix the elevator to know who broke it or why or to punish or shame them for breaking it. Fixing the broken elevator is what fixes the elevator.
I'm not saying to ignore the broken elevator or wish it away. I'm saying that blaming someone or focusing on why they broke it is not a useful step in fixing the actual elevator. When the goal is to fix the broken elevator, not start a war against people who've broken elevators (rebel) or start breaking them yourself (submit). Those are just distractions from the real problem -- the elevator needing to be fixed and (hopefully) reinforced against further breakage. And, again, that's just an opinion, and I apologize if my earlier explanation was unclear.
