An ordinary day at work that seems uneventful. Tough still seeing angry people walking in and out of my office. Seems ironical since it's freedom they are seeking, but ended up with more responsibilities on their shoulders. As I prognosticated. All may not definitely end well. Still the choice is one's own.
Freedom and responsibility - the words seem to go together. We cannot have freedom unless we are willing to take responsibility for our lives and it is through the act of taking responsibility that we begin to feel a sense of power and freedom. It almost seems that modern psychology has so convinced us that we are victims that we are willing to throw out the baby with the bath water, giving up the potential freedom in order not to take responsibility. What a loss!
Responsibility is not about accountability or blame. Accountability and blame are much too small to encompass responsibility. Accountability and blame have distorted our concept of responsibility. We are not responsibility for events we cannot control. We are responsibility for what we say and do and how we react to happenings that are out of our control. That's plenty; that's enough. Try freedom.
Try responsibility. You might like them. Spend one day being utterly responsible for everything you do. Feel the return of your personal power and freedom.

"Men is condemn to be free; because once thrown into the world, he is responsible for everything he does."
