Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 A while back I quieted my mind, wanting to understand what 'responsibility' meant. Here's what came to me: 'ability to respond' I get to choose, -do I want to respond to the world? or -to some inner knowing that I've encountered many times. When I do the latter, I am at peace, and life is joy-full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 25, 2006 Report Share Posted January 25, 2006 Responsibility is the opposite of blaming: Blame: to hold responsible for fault or error (children blame parents, parents blame their children, countries blame other countries and on and on) Responsible: able to be called on to answer, able to be called on to account as the primary cause, motive, or agent. able to answer for one's conduct and allegations (Taking responsiblity ability empowers you and increases your ability for growth) -Dwight > > A while back I quieted my mind, wanting to understand > what 'responsibility' meant. > > Here's what came to me: > > 'ability to respond' > > > I get to choose, > > -do I want to respond to the world? > > or > > -to some inner knowing that I've encountered many times. > > When I do the latter, I am at peace, and life is joy-full. > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
