Responsibility

There's no weakness in taking responsibility for your actions. In fact, I've found doing so has made me stronger, more whole and stable. It's not easy at first, and requires admittance of shameful mistakes and tendencies. You must sometimes face a lot of ugly truths. But, once done, there's cleaner air to breath. I'll own up to what I've done, but I won't take the guilt for things I've not. That's another difficult aspect of responsibility - feeling bound by the pain and anger of others, taking on their guilt. It's unfair to do it, and to make others do it.
