Personal responsibility

Up on the list of cleaning your room or doing the dishes should be some sort of social act of responsibility. But who thinks these days to says,

“After I do the dishes, I’m going to go out and do my part”.

No one.

Whenever someone says to me “You need to be more responsible” it makes me feel as though responsibility is a punishment. A punishment for doing something. But in societies case, that would be saying you’re being punished for being apart of something. Being responsible isn’t something we do for fun…nor is it something we are forced to do. But is there something’s we “Have” to do? And no I’m not talking about your laundry.
My beliefs are that most people believe responsibility is some sort action. When really…it is nothing more than a response.
It makes sense doesn’t it? Response…responsibility?
Responsibility is just that.
Not an action
Not a Duty.
Not a Punishment.
It’s a response.
A response to how you are going to react to this world around you
Being responsible has nothing to do with maturity
It has nothing to do with how much effort you put fourth.
It is merely being aware that you need to respond to your community.
And as porky the pig would say,
“That’s all Folks”
