The death of personal responsibility

[pfc_rat]

One thing I've been wanting to know - when was it that personal responsibility died? On every news channel, in every city, everywhere, all you hear is "it's not my fault

AMEN. I'm all for helping people who need it, I've fallen on hard times before myself, but I can't feel sorry for the Octomoms.

I take responsibility for everything. Sure, I have major problems because of things my parents and other people have done, but, I don't blame them for personal choices I have made (except for one thing).

My PC died because the company designed it in a way that a computer-challenged idiot could go in and erase parts of its OS. This is Microsoft's fault!

Talking to the choir here

I agree completely. I take responsibility for EVERYTHING that befalls me. I know that the way I think and act result in what happens in my life. If I think negatively, negative things happen. Think positive, and positive things happen. Now, being on hard times, I admit it is difficult to stay positive. So if I can't be positive, and I prevent myself from thinking too negative, I let the energies of the day flow through me without judgment or attachment. Letting it flow is all I can do at this time without much more detrimant to the positive or negative.

I wanted to post a reply to this, but I couldn't. IT'S NOT MY FAULT.

Okay, sorry. That was stupid. I do owe a more lengthy response to this.

The short of it: I completely concur.
