We've all got to look at ourselves, start with yourself, that's all you can do. I believe that we can act responsibly as a group, it's just that there are vested interests telling us not to bother.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think better of our behaviour as individuals than I do when we see ourselves as members of a group. It's when people start forming groups that we have to watch our backs.
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.
I can't belong to groups. I've tried. I behave normally, but people don't look at me normally.
I was taught that you didn't want to be part of the group - that it was better to do your own thing.
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.
In community, we discover who we really are and how much transformation we still require. This is why I am irrevocably committed to small groups. Through them, we can accomplish our God-entrusted work to transform human beings.
It is our responsibilities, not ourselves, that we should take seriously.
Defy your own group. Rebel against yourself.
If you care about other people, you might try to organize to undermine power and authority. That's not going to happen if you care only about yourself.
If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way.
