RESPONSIBILITY... WHAT'S THAT???


NOPE!!! Not the MXPX lyrics! But check them out if you are curious. http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/mxpx/responsibility.html

What are we responsible for and what does responsibility mean?
...Cain asked "Am I my brother's keeper?"
...An expert in the law asked "Who is my neighbor?"

Ben Ralston speaks on a similar topic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYeecnfRmuc&feature=plcp

It is important to be responsible now because everything we do will affect future generations and our descendants.

There is our earth.
There is our education.
There is our health.
There are our actions.
Think of all that is right in this world.
Think of all that is wrong in this world.
We may be responsible for it.
BUT SOME OF IT IS DUE TO THE ACTIONS OF THOSE BEFORE US.

The terrible events before my time:
slavery, holocaust, genocide, extermination
those were actions of those before us.
AND DON'T WE STILL SEE THE RESULTS VERY CLEARLY EVEN TODAY!

It may be 10s or 100s or close to 1000s of years ahead of us when something occurred and we can still observe the results around us presently.

The actions we do today, even what may seem small, will affect not only ourselves, but also somebody later on.
