RESPONSIBILITIES

Till today people still talk about responsibilities. What are responsibilities as Individual towards our ownself, our parents, our siblings, our friends, our families, our loved one, our spouse, our kids etc..

As we wake up in the morning the routines begins. Our responsibilities to ourself start from the career we hold. Responsibilities toward the work we are holding from our employer. The ability to perform the daily works are under our responsibilities.

We do it with all of our heart. What is responsibilities towards ourself. What are the factors leading to it.

We ease the responsibilities with smile be it to anyone. Taking care of a parents for example is one of the responsibilities one should focus. While we are young mom and dad take care of us giving us food, education, providing us with necessary arrangement to make us be a better person. After we excel from school, college or university they make sure we and our partner safe in the hand of marriage and then they will wash their hand off us. Seing us from far, giving us necessary advice should need be. And they will be on their own, we be on our own. But being as their children we do take care of their welfare and take care of them if not at least ask how are they. Visit them once a while, take them for dinner or sometime buy them things they like to have.

Responsibilities towards loved one, spouse and kids took place when we are married. How do we perfom that? Being as husband, to provide a wife with shelter, food, love and care about her was the most important thing. What about her feelings, her welfare and her well being.

One often look at it generally. After providing the basics the rest aren’t so important. Husband tend to forget they need to spend time, to polish the love towards her, the quality talks sometimes fade in his busy schedule. Responsibilities towards kids are often thrown to woman fully so long the money, clothing and other needs are given.

As a wife responsibilities taken with open heart and trying the best to do everything to darling husband. Beside her job in the office, she has to rush home to cook, wash, tidy the house, make sure the kids are clean before the husband are home for the day. Juggling the time between all those after tiring day at work are never questioned by them itself because some feels they are doing it because of responsibilities. They hardly complaint if the husband knows and understand their situation. To some husband who can afford, hiring a maid would be a help to wife. And the time home will be spent gracefully for the kids and a quality time will be spent with husband to communicate and shared the day they have been through.

But how many of them understand about responsibilities? How are we responsible towards ourself when it comes to satisfying ourself, the needs and wants?

How can we be responsible to an orphans? How can we be responsible to unwanted kids? How can we be responsible to a beggar? How can we be responsible when we saw a garbage by the roadside? How can we be responsible by being a friend in need? How can we be responsible to a single mother? How can we be responsible to the needy, to old folks home?

The question is not to others but to yourself on how you could be a responsible individual from today onwards….

Its hurting when we always ask question like when would you take a responsible to help those people in trouble?

Why cant we ask ourself to start it from individually and start doing it on others. Is responsibilities part of ourself to be a better person? 020905 - 12.20am
