Responsibility...

One of the burdens that we people who do too much put on ourselves is feeling responsible for everything. Actually, one of our favorite dualisms - one on which we painfully dance - is that on one end we are responsible for everything, with the weight of the world resting on our shoulders while at the other end, we want to chuck it all, head for the woods & even live in a cave. Like most dualisms, neither extremes seems too appealing. This dualism teeters on the fulcrum of self-centeredness.

Came to know a good friend frustrations and dilemmas at work. Somehow and something gone wrong and responsibilities were pushed around. Naturally the best way to put the blame on others. Feeling the stress and unfairness and yet can't resolve the problem. But no matter whose fault it lies on, responsibility should be share and the burden of blame shouldn't be place on just one soul. But again, how many will be magnanimous enough to stand up and own up? Definitely not the expense of his / her position.

Just the same, when we realize that we are responsible for what we do and need to take ownership for our thoughts, actions and behaviours and realize a the same time that we do not control everything, we can relax a bit. What more can we do? So, just do the best and then let go. Somehow we can count on karma to catch up for the "blamer". It will be the calling. That's how the Universal Law of Attraction works.
