What are we responsible for as humans?
- Living and striving to walk the right Path
- Our own well-being and that of our families
- Loving our neighbors
- Kindness, love, and service for those in need
- Avoiding any harm of others
- Mutual respect of others
- Neither enacting nor allowing any form of tyranny or domination
- Our actions - all of them
- Peaceful resolution of conflicts whenever possible
- Respecting and conserving our surroundings and resources
I think many of these are universal - if not all of them. Some come from the Bible, some from historic documents, and some from plain, common sense. Regardless of where or when I've learned or adopted these, I believe that humans are responsible for these things.
With responsibility should come accountability - otherwise, there is no check on whether or not things are done.
As always, I invite comments and discussion here. But remember, mutual respect...
This is like a crazy hard SAT question. I'm really not sure how to answer. I'm going to have to think about this before I give my answer...
ReplyDeleteHow about trying to leave things in a better way than they were when you stumbled upon them?
ReplyDeleteI think that is a great thought, Commish. Leaving things better than you found them should be a goal, certainly.
