In the following lessons, I will promote wholesome
self-responsibility and provide information to help the readers self-improve by
thinking more accurately, making better decisions, and having a more benevolent
attitudes and habits. Because nobody is perfect (and can never be), the
information that I will present has the potential to help each one of us
(including me) to improve ourselves.
My aim is to help all of us become more of the kind of
person that each of us wants to be.
‘SELF’ is one’s own being.
‘RESPONSIBILITY’ is the state of having a duty to deal
with something or of having control over someone.
Therefore, ‘SELF-RESPONSIBILITY’ is the state of having
a duty to deal with and of having control over oneself.
Except for two people born together as conjoined twins,
all human beings are born as individuals—that is, as a single human being.
And, each one of us was born neither knowing any meaning
nor having any purpose—we merely had life. Apart from a few reflex actions or
automatic responses, each of us had to learn almost everything.
As humans, we were born virtually helpless; and, for
more than a decade (usually almost two), humans have to be cared for after
birth. In other words, someone else or some others have to be responsible for
children after birth until they become adults—responsible for themselves.
Of course, since my friends and I are already adults, I
don’t propose to teach you how to become more self-responsible. In the lessons
that follow, I will merely provide information that anyone can use to help
self-improve—that is, to have a more wholesome disposition, think more
accurately, and make better decisions.
I am certain that anyone who reads these posts will
indeed self-improve because all that anyone needs to change is an idea that
changes his or her way of thinking. Of course, such a mind-changing idea won’t
be the same for everyone but I will present so many benevolent ones that
everyone who reads them will find some of them mind-changing to some extent.
