Post 1,014: Real Responsibility

July 03, 20251 min read

I will blame myself without thinking about the situation. I am willing to take responsibility, so I will. This is not useful for multiple reasons:

1.       1. I put undue stress on myself.

2.       2. I don’t look for the real cause, and therefore make it easier to happen again.

3.       3. Lying to myself just makes me believe I am lying to myself.

Dealing with reality can only happen if I look at reality. It can feel like I am being accountable for the world around me. It is still a lie if I shoulder other people’s obligations as my own. Plus, I rob someone else of learning by taking away their consequences.
