Responsibility
I hate people.
All people.
You know why?
Because no one takes responsibility for anything - ever.
When someone is an alcoholic, they claim that alcoholism is a disease and that they were helplessly affected by it.
Hey guess what asshole? It was your fucking choice to drink. Try telling a cancer patient that alcoholism is a disease. If you are an alcoholic, stop fucking drinking. Its not beyond your control, and it IS your fault.
Why can’t people understand this?
If you are poor, and you stay poor, it is your fault. The government isn’t holding you down, society isn’t holding you down, it’s just you. Go out there and make some money. Go fucking shine shoes and deliver papers. You are making the choice to be poor, you are not a victim of your circumstances. If you were determined enough, you can turn it around. Work 20 hour days, get up, do something.
Everything you do is your fault. You have the power to prevent almost everything that can happen to you. There is no fate, there are no invisible forces guiding you. Its you, making a decision based on your rationale which is derived from your past experience. Even if you have a fucked up rationale, its still your conscious choice. The only reason you don’t do something is because you figure its going to cost too much time, effort or money to do it, not because you just can’t.
You got hit by a car? Well you could have prevented it by not being there in the first place. You burned yourself by spilling hot coffee on your pants while driving? How about, not drinking the burning hot coffee while driving?
Of course, people have adapted this attitude of “not my fault” because the legal system has allowed it, especially in the U.S. Nothing is your fault in the U.S. You fell on the sidewalk? Sue your city government for not having railings for you. I mean, you can go through life blaming misfortune you have on someone else and get away with it. Doesn’t personal responsibility and choice come into play here?
Certainly there are sensible laws in place protecting innocent people from getting fucked over, but there is always incentive to abuse the system.
It bothers me because I can go beyond the selfish thought process of most humans and actually admit to making mistakes, and taking responsibility for my actions, when I know damn well that I could get away with blaming someone else and it being perfectly acceptable. So many people are ignorant to this fact that their abuse has led to a failure in the system.
Stop blaming someone else for your mistakes and short comings. Get a spine and realize that you can change, and maybe then you will.
