I posed the question today about what the definition of responsibility was. The average answer was to simply to be accountable for one’s actions and do the right thing in all aspects of life. But what about the responsibility for the way we think? Is it the responsible thing to do when we don’t depend on others for our own happiness? Is it also responsible thinking when we realize we cannot control the behaviors of others? Enough energy is already being spent on our own self control and if we understand that most relationship problems are not resolvable, then that energy could come in handy almost certainly, in a more positive way. For example, growing and nurturing the relationship. It’s sort of like an investment – we get out of it what we put in it.
