Accountability Redefined

It actually calls for a celebration, when a question like this comes up! If it so happens that more of this kind of people happen, or if people shift towards (and retain) this attitude, then, politicians, lawyers, courts, judges, laws, enactments, tax enforcement agencies, investigation agencies, why…. even insurance people…….. all these would find themselves out of business! These are the professions which actually ‘thrive’ on our inability to look beyond ‘accountability-oriented-attitude’. (Please see, within a well-knit-large-family, though very few are there are any left by now, these parasitical functions are redundant. Everybody is adequately responsible!)

I request your kind attention to the question, more than anything else, and try to view it as our own quest (not just a question, or a casual-time-pass-faq’s), and then try to see how we rank or how we can rate ourselves, if this were to be our real experiential search-and-seek-question!

My answer is not worth a dime more than an attempt to ‘re-assure’ the asker that he / she is right on the track to something far more precious than the comforting thought that this is a right way of looking at things! So the emphasis is on ability to retain this question right into our on-going-basis-priorities. The askers ‘beautiful mind’ is clearly seen in the innocence of the choice of words!

In some way or the other its always WE who are responsible for whatever that happens to us?
Even if others are responsible and even if its no fault of oursI mean, we always say and cite others as a reason for our mis-happenings but its still we who allowed them to be that reason even though we may be valid in holding them as culprits,even though its totally not our faultWhen others do something to us and even if we are right and they are wrong, its still we who allowed them to do whatever they did to us.For the moment I'm not saying that you have to be careful with people,not trust them at all and blame everything onto ourselves allowing people to get away,just saying accept whatever that comes to us as our own making ,in that way, you wont have regrets as whatever that happened to you was because of your decisions and you hold responsibility for it,also it reduces the level of hatred we are bound to have on others.You dont have to think "Oh,its because of him my life is in total jeopardy", instead you can think "Whatever it was, I allowed that person to make it this way,it was my decision,but it was based on what I felt at that moment and it was quite justified in doing that ,so lets have no regrets "That forgives myself as well as the person in questionWhat do you think?


My answer:
Yes!That is the way of looking at things positively.
It expands the scope for positive action.
It opens up the possibility to do something about anything!
It affords us to look at "responsibility" in a better way .. that is "Response-Ability" instead of the Traditional view of "accountability".
Progressing thus, on this track, or groove, sooner or later, we would realise that we do have the capability to 'prevail upon' and influence others to respond to all the situations with positive actions, instead of merely reacting, and thereby, obviate the need to disown the 'inability' about doing something for anything and everything around! The best part is, this attitude affords us the transformation, which allows us to experience at deep levels our strong inter-dependence with everything, everyone around! We then get over that 'divisive' choice, and more towards the ultimate freedom of choicelessness! Best wishes.
