Responsibility

Responsibility is a form of trustworthiness or the trait or act of being answerable to someone or for something or being responsible for one's conduct. It is a social force that subjects you to the courses of action demanded by that force.

Love is not a fairytale but a huge responsibility. It is not a platform for poetry and drama rehearsals but a live broadcast spelt out in words and actions. It is beyond the phrases "I love you", "I cannot live without you", "I will die for you", "I will do anything for you...", even though they are part of the wooing devices. Love is reality as you see it. That is to say that it is more revealing than we can ever imagine.

Anyone who claims to love you should understand you in all ramifications: your words, action, gestures, body language , silence, needs, priorities... And even if such persons don't understand you completely, and the person truly loves you, he/she would take out time to learn by studying you closely. This helps to reduce the rate of misunderstandings drastically.

Don't tell me you love me when you have what I need, and you know I need it, and then you pretend not to get the message clearly... The worst is even when the person in question had to beg for it times without number, and you know this person is genuine about the request, which you know such request won't cost you anything, and then you give excuses just to get rid of the person. Only for the person to get it elsewhere, and then you want to eat from or partake from it... How does that follow?

You were not designed to be impassive. It is when certain tendencies are not addressed in our lives, that they begin to malfunction. You were designed to be the solution people see, as well as the legacy others follow.

At least if you can trust someone to a certain extent, and you know you can be of help or collaborate with such person(s), it won't bite, if you do such person(s) a direct message on social platforms, call, email, chat on facebook, twitter, instagram, bbm, watsapp..., as well as text messages. This is the essence of the social media platforms. Life itself is a risk! Your part is to make sure you are convinced about the person(s), and then you can take that giant and bold step. As you do, you attract goodness to yourself, as what goes around comes around.

Responsibility is two ways: being responsible for one's conduct, and being answerable to someone or for something.

Being responsible for one's conduct is to lay down principles to live by and discipline one's self to live by it such that one doesn't blame another for his/her words or actions. On the other hand, being answerable to someone or for something is to be accountable to such person in whatever one does. It could be to give reports, feedbacks on a days job or daily activities.

The one I just can't fathom is when certain persons who don't take responsibility for you, yet wants you to answer to them. It doesn't work that way. Responsibility is a mutual thing. You stand in for me, and I stand in for you. Though the response may differ in nature, but then, there's a reciprocation somewhere. #Love #Live broadcast #Reality #Responsibility #Conduct #Principle #Discipline #Accountability.
