There is a Responsibility in Being Human
There's a responsibility in being human, and a greater responsibility when being a conscious compassionate one. Guru Singh
We have a responsibility to ourselves, to each other, to the community to, to the world to be decent human beings.
The responsibility grows when we have put in the work on ourselves, when we have been provided the tools, the gifts, the platforms, and we use it to make the world a better place. Even when we do not recognize the responsibility or deny them, it is there reminding us to show up. That responsibility to live well, to love well, to demonstrate well. The main responsibility is to yourself .
Someone says that they didn't ask to be a role model. I think that sometimes our gifts push us to a space where others look at how we live. It may not be fair, it may seem burdensome, however it is many times our own path. With power comes responsibility.
How many of us fall in to the trap of judgement, feeling superior, a hands off approach and denial? This is a huge reason why the world remains in a state of disarray. We give up or neglect the responsibility we have to ourselves.
2020 has stripped away so many of our distractions, so many of the nonsense that we focus on, so many of the unimportant events. It has called us to focus and pay attention to our responsibilities to ourselves and to our communities.
