Responsibility
What is Responsibility?
Ownership of your commitments, your impact, and your role in the systems you inhabit. Responsible people do not pass blame — they ask what they can do and then do it.
When you might feel responsibility
Responsibility is a specific form of civic strength, which itself is a type of justice. You might experience this feeling in situations where justice is present, particularly when the circumstances align with the nuances that define responsibility.
