| SKARDAVNELNATE 02/28/22 12:15:23 AM #27: | adjl posted... What you're talking about...What I'm talking about is if someone takes personal responsibility then they alone will see to their own needs. Whether that be their health, their freedom, their finances. Whatever they decide to apply it to. They will take control over it because no one can be trusted to do that for them. Personal responsibility concerns something that the person in question has control over and is holding them self accountable for. If someone takes personal responsibility for their own health then they'll start to get enough sleep, cut out foods that are bad for them, go for a jog. It does not mean that they demand the restaurant they frequent stop serving the food they always order to keep them from eating it. That would be putting the responsibility on the restaurant. Someone could decide they will take personal responsibility to wear fresh socks every day. However, ensuring other people wear fresh socks every day is not something they control. Those other people can decide that it's their socks and they don't care that they've been wearing them since yesterday. What you are talking about is the effects a person's actions have on other people. You can decide to take personal responsibility for your actions but you have no control over the effect they have on other people. Personal responsibility in that case would refer to the other person taking control of how they respond to your actions. You may decide you will take personal responsibility for making people around you more cheerful. So you smile, you greet people warmly, you tell jokes. You can control your actions to support that goal but you don't control the effect of your actions. You don't decide how receptive anyone is to these attempts. Someone won't be in the mood and will find you aggravating. You are trying to hold people accountable for something they don't control and you call it their personal responsibility. This shows that on a foundational level you don't understand what personal responsibility is. --- No locked doors, no windows barred. No more things to make my brain seem SKARD.
