The Myth of Responsible Humans!

There is this invisible myth running around about us humans which is: You are responsible. You gotta take full responsibility. You are responsible for your kids, spouse, home, finances, extended family and other social obligations.

I don’t deny the fact we gotta act responsible. But this myth is causing a definite burnout. It also causes depression, isolation and loneliness.

Looking at this myth from a distance, I realize the underneath root that says: You are not enough. You have to keep pushing, doing, pleasing and accommodating. Or otherwise you will never be enough.

What is it about this idea of not enough? If you want to know the truth, just observe a new born baby. Look at its behaviours. Observe its crying approach. Notice its natural process. It doesn’t indicate any sign of not enough. But rather it assures its abundance, flowless and worthiness. It shows you the truth of human beings being created with gifts and privileges to offer to the world.

So what about you? What ideas you have about responsibility? What beliefs and values you picked along the way? After questioning and reflecting on them, at which statement you have arrived?
