By imposing too great a responsibility, or rather, all responsibility, on yourself, you crush yourself.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If everyone is to be made responsible for everything they do, you must extend responsibility beyond the level of conscious intention.
You've got to take responsibility for your own actions. We all know people who reach rock bottom. However much that they're told that what they're doing is harming their own life or whatever, you cannot make someone do it unless that person reaches the point where they know that they have to deal with it themselves.
The thing is, you don't want to overact or be full of yourself.
I would just say that nobody could do what I do unless you had a big ego. It's the only way you can really put it. You have to be arrogant enough to challenge the arrogance of the human race.
Act so that the effects of your actions are compatible with the permanence of genuine human life.
Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important, although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem, and personal satisfaction.
It is an endless and frivolous Pursuit to act by any other Rule than the Care of satisfying our own Minds in what we do.
By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you're aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life.
Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody expects of you. Never excuse yourself.
Limit your inputs to only those that support a certain kind of self-destructive behavior, and you can be cheered with enthusiasm as you drive yourself off a cliff.
