RESPONSIBILITY

"I wish to see you become a responsible person someday". "I get very happy when I see you act responsible". 30 odd years on, married with 2 children and supposetly nearing the peak of his carrer in an almost 90 degree ascent curve, born loser is yet to become a responsible person.
No there is no sarcasm or double meaning here..in its true essence this bloke is yet to become responsible.
For us shenanigans let us first define what it is to be responsible:
1. Liable to be required to give account, as of one's actions or of the discharge of a duty or trust.
2. Involving personal accountability or ability to act without guidance or superior authority: a responsible position within the firm.
3. Being a source or cause.
4. Able to make moral or rational decisions on one's own and therefore answerable for one's behavior.
5. Able to be trusted or depended upon; reliable.
6. Based on or characterized by good judgment or sound thinking: responsible journalism.
7. Having the means to pay debts or fulfill obligations.
8. Required to render account; answerable.

Hmmm.. he seems to sort of have most of those covered but yet he aint responsible. Once again I am reminded of 'Pursuit of Happiness'. (In sadness for this chap I reflect)
Doing almost everything you are told, letting more than one person chart out your life path, not being too proactive fearing you will not do the right thing, being silent even when you were so close to internal combustion , doing almost everything with the intention it brings happiness, pride and satisfaction to your family ,is not being responsible my friends.
You got to play the game man. The game. You do it irrespective of need and requirement so that you score...you score in the responsibilty card.
Being mentally and physically everready to jump in and swim against the tide aint enough dear one. You got to get downright wet and swim against the tide even if the tide is going the right way and mind you CALL THE PRESS! I mean a little publicity in the right circles never actually hurt anyone isnt it.
"Life is like a box of chocolates, you never really know which piece you will get"..Forest gump. Man that guy's got to be stupid alight. Screw the chocolates and screw the box. Life is a game...you got to play to score every time.No score, no moving up the stages and no prize for you my boy. No point sitting around and being ready to act at times you feel you are needed most only. Act all the time whether its needed or not as you need to score....
When one of dear friends told me how he gets to hear those famous lines i quoted above, I couldnt resist writing this article.
My conclusion...You are a worthless piece of assimilated, digested material that is just got his head where the sun doesnt shine. Go get a new life....loser.!
