Responsibility Towards Others


You are often told that you "are responsible for your brother". And you try to comply. Yet, there are times when your brother doesn't want to be helped. He (or she) wants to follow his own path and, in spite of how wrong it is, you simply cannot do anything to help him. You suffer because you are aware of the situation, with all your heart do you wish you were allowed to intervene but... you find yourself powerless. In such a case, you might end up feeling 'guilty' for not having helped. Discard this feeling, it is not your fault. It is not even your direct responsibility. Everyone is responsible for themselves. Therefore, in whatever situation one finds themselves into, it has been their "choice" (it doesn't matter how unconscious or unaware such choice has been). Sad, but true.
