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.
