Taking responsibility

Taking responsibility is something most of us shrink away from. We always feel secure and safe when "I" am not the one responsible. But worse are those who claim for privileges without taking any risks or any responsibility of what they are upto or entrusted with. The primary reason we shirk responsibility is that is a headache or in blunt words, a pain in the ****. Yet unless we start taking responsibility we do not grow, we do not change, we do not progress. In other words, we die! We only breathe and walk about without a thought, without a bit of life in us, that we can pass on to another with dignity and pride.
