Responsibility naturally falls on those who care the most. It is only by accepting one's responsibilities that a person can bend reality to their will. It is only the bending of one's reality that can turn the struggle of acceptance into the acceptance of struggle.

"Responsibility naturally falls on those who care the most. It is only by accepting one's responsibilities that a person can bend reality to their will."
I like the idea that "Responsibility naturally falls on those who care the most" care is a mood, a felt attitude, a way of responding to what happens in life. Looking at the possibilities and determining which action you ought to do, rather than which is the easiest or even which is the most beneficial.
"It is only the bending of one's reality that can turn the struggle of acceptance into the acceptance of struggle."
We all have to confront a shared world, how we do that is dependent on many factors, and the result of our confrontation is our take on reality, since no thought, idea, feeling or expression is real for us beyond what we think about it. Our free acceptance of any rule, law, tradition is only possible if we care for what it entails and accept its determination as how we ought to act.

What is all this "bending reality to your will" nonsense? Reality doesn't bend, we do.
My job is to determine what reality is, and adapt to it.
Perhaps you're talking about the limited freedom of choice we have ... if so, then sure, you have to accept an endless and often pointless struggle. Personally I'm too old for that shit. I live with integrity and let the chips fall where they may.

I am the one that is bent, not my reality.

Ha! ?
Responsibility naturally falls on those who care the most is simply not true. sorry, I don't mean to doubt you. Donald Trump couldn't give a fuck about wildlife or who he pisses off. responsibility should go to those who care about the planet and not about how powerful they are or how tall a tower they have built. all governments are the same really but I have a very special dislike for Trumpp.
