Dear Diary,
According to the dictionary, the word RESPONSIBILITY is simply defined as "The state or fact of having a duty to deal with something." It's a simple definition yet people have their ideas of this word probably because we are all unique and were brought up by our societies in different ways. In fact, we tend to be so conscious of becoming one that we forget that it's just a simple virtue we can uphold effortlessly.
Let me quote that again. "The state or fact of having a duty to deal with something."
Having a duty. Duty. Once we have or given a duty, we are expected to be responsible. Having duties is where we are trained to be responsible. Responsibility requires action and that is shown when we do duties.
Deal with something. Sometimes, we are bombarded with very important tasks, left and right, and sometimes, we don't know what to do first or what to do anymore. But once we are able to deal with them, then I think we have shown this virtue.
Simple, right? Not really.
Because as I said, no matter how easy the standard definition of this word is, we still have different ideas of it brought about by our own experiences.
And sometimes we use these ideas to judge whether another person is responsible or not. Not knowing that THAT person may judge us equally with his/her own ideas as well. And this creates a misunderstanding. Chaos. Blah blah.
Take it from me because I was once a victim of this judgement.
And I couldn't help but simply laugh it off since God knows what I went through in life to become responsible.
We have our own responsibilities. I have mine and I'm doing them. Stick with it.

ReplyDeleteAs you said internet sucks. Then i sent someone to replace that lagging internet for a better speed. Then after, I waited too long-----. That’s okay I understand that probably you're tired or sick. Then i sent two yayas to help you just to be sure you have a better sleep. And still, i waited --------it's okay maybe tomorrow. And then i phone your number almost every day it ends up nothing only to hear this annoying "cannot be reached" and this ringing sound that kills my ear where nobody picks it up. It's fine, no problem, maybe this is normal, maybe some other time. And then something’s weird that came in the back of my head. I started questioning why my friends on facebook are always online and spent too much time than i do where in fact they are caesarians. They even have 2 kids, no yayas and one of them does the laundry stuff. So I started doing research, fishing from my friends and asked many questions about CS and etc. And i got the same answers from them that is different from yours.
ReplyDeleteFor how long do I need to wait, listen and understand?
I call because I want to hear anything from Aisha whether she’s doing fine or not and know her wants and needs but sad to say I get more information researching from my friends.
Turn your laptop on and get online.
I want to see her moving while lying in bed. I want to hear anything inside that room especially how she cries coz that noise I get is the best sleep I can have. That is important for me and I didn’t ask you to sit all day in front of the camera. Those frustrations made me a monster destroying everything in my path that a psych doctor doesn't understand what I am doing.
Why is it so hard for you to pick up your phone? Or you don’t have any common sense why?
Why is it so hard for you to get online? If maybe sendong is coming, you just run and save yourself. I don’t know.
Did you ever wonder why I do these things? My mind thinks differently from yours that maybe you are thinking that we are having a holiday picnic. Was I overreacting? tell me I need to know.
