Responsibility

Responsibility and Independence – Responsibility is not a quality instinctually instilled in all human beings. Some of us have to work really hard at leading a responsible life. The key is to realize that it is okay to assist someone, but the full burden of a responsibility should never be taken away from the originator. If it is, the owner will never learn, thus becoming forever dependent on others. Cause and effect is the ultimate guide to responsibility. “If I don’t do my laundry, my clothes will stink up.” Or, something like "if I don't put gas in my car, I will be stranded on the road." Our success with responsibility will eventually lead to complete independence.
