Balance and Responsibility I - Where are you? ...

Monday, August 9, 2010. What is a responsible life? I think about someone, who is reliable and is caring. Someone who will make sure, things are going well. I think about someone, you can rely on.

What is my idea of responsibility

What is your idea of responsibility? A responsible manager will make sure that the company is doing well! He will take all necessary steps to let the firm flourish and prosper. His responsibility is both towards the owners or share holders and towards the people working in the company. Their life depends to a good part on their employer. And he is responsible to society for what his company does, for the damage it causes to the nature and to the environment.

Responsibility might be difficult. Am I responsible for everything? Taking risks is quite dangerous if you are responsible. You need to try everything to keep the risks low. In Germany some people tried to bring the “love parade” to the town Düsseldorf. They took risks to do this and then there were big problems and people died in a mass panic. After that it was quite difficult to find someone to take responsibility for this. There is a real problem behind this! How far does responsibility go? Do I see my full responsibility?

Where am I?

I wonder where you are with responsibility? Where am I myself? Do I take the responsibility which I should? Or am I taking too much responsibility?

For example: if there is a state in a remote country, which is bringing death and starvation to its people, where is MY responsibility? Can I change people who are killing others for reasons of faith? I can pray for them. I can offer help. I can try to do my bit. But I do not have the power to change the population of a country I am not living in. Or do you have better suggestions?

On the other hand, I can change things in my immediate environment. I can take responsibility for myself, for my family, for my partner and my kids. I can do things here. Where am I with my responsibility?

Responsibility need to be balanced and mature. But we need to start acting responsibly first, otherwise we cannot balance anything and we cannot become mature with it. Are you a responsible person? Are you developing yourself? Are you making progress? Where are you? Where am I? Let us ask the Lord to guide our heart, our reasoning and our actions over the next days when we continue to explore an important topic! ... more texts
