the vibes of responsibility.

The dictionary says that responsibility is the dependability and reliability of one's own initiative or authority. It also says responsible is the capacity for moral or rational actions and thoughts.

If you were to have a mindset full of moral and rational thoughts and actions, would that make you a person full of responsibility? Does being dependable and reliable mean you are responsible?

Uncle Ben Parker from Spiderman comics says, "With great power comes great responsibility." So here's my question, what exactly does it take to be responsible? How will you know when you are responsible enough?

How reliable and dependable do you have to be? How big a capacity do you need for morals and rationality? That's something I've yet to discover.

To me, being responsible means being able to think for yourself, to take care of yourself. Just like what the dictionary's said. It's just that for some people, responsibility comes to be a very big thing, something you need a lot of.

On the other hand, some prefer less responsibilities. The problem free philosophy. To some, it's said that the lesser the responsibilities, the lesser time you spend worrying about the stunts you need to pull and more of enjoying the stunts you'll be pulling.

Then, there are the people who say the more the responsibilities, the better. Some interpret that having more responsibilities mean more importance to others. The feeling of knowing you're important is a pretty good feeling, it gives out a good vibe.

Would you give up enjoyment to be important? Or would you give up importance to enjoy life as it is? If you're that awesome, you'd probably find important and responsibilities enjoyable so who needs life huh? Hahaha.

That brings me to the conclusion that is depends on how you look at things to know what enough is for you. Everyone's got it different. What matters is if you think you're responsible enough to have certain responsibilities, then you are. It's a matter of what capacity you have in you to go the distance.

Nobody can tell you how responsible you are for something, it's a matter of whether or not you think you can handle something without burdening others or burdening yourself doing it. People can judge how responsible you are, but that's a different story.
