People need to start being responsible for their actions, and accept the consequences.

There's always an excuse so that people may seem less accountable for what they have done. It is possibly a remnant of our natural defense mechanisms, which have evolved from a physical nature to a modern, and more appropriate, cognitive quality. We've all seen it, and done it: when we try to explain why we had turned up late, or to the more difficult things such as refusing to accept blame in a dispute.

However, what we fail to realize is that assuming responsibility might not be the worst thing to do. We all have the most valid reasons for our actions, yet when it comes down to the wire, we always have a choice.

I made a choice once, to prioritize my attention on one of two things, and as justifiable as my reasons for doing so were, it did not alter, nor could it hide the fact that I had made my decision. Accepting the ramifications of my decision, as hard as it might have been, was perhaps the best thing I could do.

And it was.



Yes, I chose the wrong item off the lunch menu, and was pretty bitter about it.

Helplessness;
All the strongest mind can muster is the weakest resolve against the heart's foolish endearment,
for never hath the lips tasted such delicious joy,
and never hath the ears longed for such beautiful song.
