Meaning of Responsibilities -I

In this article I`ll observe what are responsibilities in our life, what we need to be aware of when taking responsibility, how we synchronize with others, what is meaning of taking care.

Everyone on planet is connected with some kind of responsibility. In some sense, that is one of the main reasons why we are here on earth plane, why we struggle, and why we need to grow. Taking responsibility is one of the major steps in process of personal growth, as well as in any growth. Children start to take responsibility as soon as they are able to have memory or be conscious about their environment. Responsibility is being aware of what you want, what others want and how to connect the elements of Self- Others and environment. That includes all spheres – personal, work, relationships.

      Being responsible is also related to what you desire and your personal freedom. Even if that relation is quite invisible in the first sight, but freedom is well linked with understanding about responsibilities. We need to claim our freedom (which is already given to us by Soul right), and use it to choose what kind of responsibilities we want/ are able to take. Responsibilities in the cotemporary state of social structure is misunderstood and viewed as “burden” and heavy chains than freedom. And that is the basic difference of why we are in fact unable to take responsibilities of ourselves or others.

     When we feel chained to something, we misinterpret and mix the concept of responsibility with the one of “obligation”. Which is very not the same. Being obligated is about not being free to choose, as the task is imposed on us unwillingly, but it has element of acceptance. So we accept that we need to have certain dress code for example. Even if we don’t like it – at workplace, we may accept to wear official suit or tie, even if that code doesn’t match our personal taste for style. So in this case we accept and it`s our obligation to wear in such way, as well as obligation for everyone working in the same company. In such way we are not exception from the social rules and norms. Obligations always include mechanism of social synchronicity of one element with others. That may include also behaviour and rules at work, in group of people and family. Obligations are related to others, and they are also kind of responsibilities – but with socially strict parameter from outside. In this sense, if you disagree with the rule you may be feeling quite in trap with that obligation or feel not fitting in that place. That can also be a cause of social anxiety. It never comes alone, but always takes place in several levels.

Thank you for tuning in!
