Notes

Claim

Responsibility is an act of Unity is the felt sense of connection with others and the world, we connect ourselves with something else, whether a person, a goal, a task, and see it as part of who we are.

Explanation

We don't always choose what we are responsible for, nor do we always feel emotional connection to it, yet we still feel that it is in our best interest to take care of it.

Why it matters

Giving us responsibility over things pushes away Alienation means feeling detached from life and others, we feel more connected to the world, because we now have a role to fill, something to take care of, and not just ourselves, it is our anchor to reality, to others.

When we assume responsibility over the events of our lives, we can finally switch our perception from Life Denying to Life Embracing, to take Ownership means taking active responsibility and control of your environment over it. Meaning, that being alive is a matter of connecting yourself in ever growing circles to what happens to you, the people you encounter, the world you live in.

Responsibility is primarily about being proactive, about doing what we can for the betterment of what we are responsible for, to practice our Agency is the ability to connect desires and actions in making good decisions not just for ourselves but for others.

While being responsible usually means being accountable for your mistakes, it doesn't mean that you focus on Blame is attributing fault instead of owning what's in your control nor does it mean we can control all that's happening. We shouldn't care about punishments, only on what can we do right now to fix it.
