     [ "responsibility" ]

    1: The most misdefined word in the urban dictionary. It is simply the "BLAME" Teaching responsibility is easy if you do not complicate it. Taking responsibility is taking the "BLAME". Jesus was not responsible for all of our mistakes and yet he took the BLAME. Stop treating this word as a good trait because it is only good for those predestined to be the "SCAPEGOAT" Responsibility is something we can only accept not force on others without evidence that they are guilty. If the boss notices something good has been done and wishes to know who did it. He/She would ask "who gets the CREDIT". It is only after mistakes are discovered that we ask "who is RESPONSIBLE"? I pray that the editors recognize the logic and truth in this definition and give it the "CREDIT" it deserves.

      * e.g.,  ... Responsibility should be avoided unless you know the risk and are willing to take the blame for failing. Opportunity hides inside this risk, for if you succeed you will get "CREDIT" for success and dodge the 'BLAME" for failure.

     [ "Responsibility" ]

    1: My "civic responsibility" is covered by the existence fee I pay every time I make money or spend money. If not, then what am I paying for?

      * e.g.,  ... Hym "Yeah, tell me more about my civic responsibility as I'm being gaslit by a one-eyed senator.... Hello? Nothing? I have a civic responsibility to make things better for people who refuse to even acknowledge my existence? Aside from the shrink, a senator is the last fucking person on the planet to be doing that in from of millions of people. You whole class, your entire upper echelon of society is just millionaires paying millionaires to continue being millionaires. And the barrier to entry? Arbitrary. People being denied due process and not being elevated based on merit? What are you doing about any of that? Nothing. What am I getting in exchange for my taxpayer dollars other than told to shut up and go fuck myself? Work at a fucking church. For all I know, the church is stealing my fucking ideas too!
