Responsibility................................


      If you are suffering - well, that's the norm.  People are limited and life is tragic.   If your suffering is unbearable, however, and your are starting to become corrupted, here's something to think about.

      Consider your circumstances.  Start small.  Have you taken full advantage of the opportunities offered to you?  Are you working hard on your career, or even your job, or are you letting bitterness and resentment hold you back and drag you down?  Have you made peace with your brother?  Are you treating your spouse and your children with dignity and respect?  Do you have habits that are destroying your health and well-being?  Are you truly shouldering your responsibilities?  Have you said what you need to say to your friends and family members?   Are there things that you could do, that you know you could do, that would make things around you better?
      Have you cleaned up your life?
      If the answer is no, here's something to try:  Start to stop doing what you know to be wrong.  Start stopping today.  Don't waste time questioning how you know what you're doing is wrong, if you are certain that it is.  Inopportune questioning can confuse, without enlightening, as well as deflecting you from action.  You can know that something is wrong or right without knowing why.  Your entire Being can tell you something that you can neither explain nor articulate.  Every person is too complex to know themselves completely, and we all contain wisdom that we cannot comprehend.
