Discover the Controversial Truth About Freedom, Loneliness, and Personal Transformation Through Responsibility
So, one of the fundamental differences between a weak person and a strong one is the unwillingness and unreadiness to take responsibility.
However, the absence of responsibility is both a convenient circumstance and a pernicious one.
The thought that you don’t have a job, family obligations, bills, or a car or home to service can be liberating, but it can also be discouraging.
When a person is free from obligations and distractions in real life, they have more time and opportunity to reflect on more existential and spiritual issues.
If you do not have obvious mundane life tasks, then you have to think about the goal in life as such.
Seems like a good prospect, doesn’t it?
But only if you have found this goal, you like it, and you are ready to devote your life to its realization.
It doesn’t happen often, and if it doesn’t work out for you, then expect depression, loss of meaning in life, decision paralysis, and feelings of overwhelm.
The freedom to do whatever you want may seem enticing at first, but it can quickly lose its charm.
When there is no one to answer to, it is easy to fall into the deceptive bliss of complacency.
Without a sense of responsibility, there is no motivation to achieve meaningful goals, and life can quickly get ugly.
Accordingly, personal growth becomes impossible: people are social creatures, and without kicks and kisses from the outside, we too easily refuse development and simply go with the flow.
This can lead to a persistent feeling of worthlessness and purposelessness.
An unwillingness to take responsibility also entails loneliness.
Responsibility is an important component of building trust in a couple and relying on each other.
Relationships require a certain level of responsibility to function successfully, and without that, they can quickly collapse.
It is important to understand that responsibility is not a burden.
It is a necessary component of a fulfilling life and the strongest motivator for development.
Responsibility gives us a sense of purpose and helps us grow as individuals.
This allows us to form meaningful relationships and pursue our goals with determination.
The human mind tends to look for connections between different events.
So, Calpurnia, having learned about the murder of Caesar, immediately connected this murder with a bad dream that she’d had the day before.
These connections may be true, but they are often false.
However, a person stubbornly continues to look for connections and combine different events: because when such connections are created, he gets the illusion of understanding what is happening around him.
Life is unpredictable and stormy, the “black swan” can fly to the pond in front of your house at any moment, and you are not able to predict it.
At some point in their lives, everyone will undoubtedly experience real pain and destruction.
This pain can manifest itself in many ways, such as within your family, abuse from your spouse, bullying from classmates at school, or even the consequences of your poor decisions.
Destruction, on the other hand, can come from external sources such as disease, death, war, or any number of injustices that life can throw at us.
In order to explain unexpected sorrows and joys, in order to give this whole whirlwind of unpredictability at least some kind of organized form, people throughout history have come up with all kinds of logical constructions.
So, the magnificent concept of karma, which explains everything that happens to you is the consequence of your previous activities, allows you not only to feel more confident in this unpredictable world but also to be more attentive to what you are doing.
However, the reality is that life does not fit completely into any scheme. It is full of unexpected and uncontrollable events that can make us feel helpless and defeated.
Accidents that have nothing to do with our previous activities are provoked by spontaneous natural disasters, equipment breakdowns, the actions of other people, and a host of other factors that happen to us at the most unexpected moment and invariably unsettle us.
Despite our best efforts, we cannot control everything that happens to us. We have no power over the external forces that set the world in motion.
Internal change is not an easy process, but it is necessary for a fulfilling life.
It requires introspection, honesty, and a willingness to confront our fears and insecurities.
This means taking the time to examine our beliefs and values and making sure they align with our goals.
It means recognizing our weaknesses and shortcomings and working to correct them.
