The other day I had an odd thought:
Responsibility is freedom.
What?! My thoughts began to bicker. That makes no sense.
Yet. Somehow it does. To me, anyways.
I've never felt more alive than when I have responsibilities. It makes you feel important and free.
Responsibilities just tie you down. They control your life. That's what the world told me anyways. But what if it's not true? What if having responsibilities sets you free?
Free from apathy. YES. That's it.
There is nothing more freeing than feeling worth while. Feeling like your making a difference in the world in some small way. Whether it be loving someone or being a good employee.
We have the choice to take responsibility for our actions. We are free to MOVE. To LIVE. To LOVE.
We must assume responsibility to be free.
Yet, be careful what you choose to be responsible for---also beware of action out of obligation.
Responsibility is a choice we make out of desire, passion, love. It is freeing, not captivating.
These are my thoughts. Maybe spiritual, maybe logical, maybe absurd, and maybe profound.
But for me, responsibility is freedom from apathy. Spiritually I believe.
