Some of us are better at owning the responsibility of our actions than others.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think people have to take responsibility for their own actions.
We don't naturally want to take responsibility for our lives. We want to give the responsibility to someone else. We blame them when our lives aren't good.
Psychologically, it's always more pleasurable to blame others for our problems than it is to acknowledge our own responsibility.
What influences our behavior, and what our level of responsibility is, are very complex issues. And anytime we try to make this simplistic, we don't serve people well.
We all have to take responsibility for what we say and do.
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
If everyone is to be made responsible for everything they do, you must extend responsibility beyond the level of conscious intention.
All your acts affect all the people, people that you don't even know. So we have to live with responsibility. We have to live knowing that we're not the only ones here and you're affecting somebody else always.
Everybody has to be responsible for their own actions - and if they do something wrong, I believe in paying for it.
Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.
