This blog post is dedicated to all of those who think that, burden of responsibilities is making them stressful.
What is burden of responsibilities?
What exactly it is? Responsibility is a sense of duty of doing something or a process of carrying out some kind of an activity or activities to accomplish something (meaningful). The immense pressure of responsibilities are felt when things are not going according to the plan. The burden is felt when actual results are far off from the desired results or when, the sense of duty doesn’t align with the goals.
Why there is a burden?
In order to make progress in life or take care of responsibilities, it requires action. Sometimes, it requires lots of action. because, the energy which we could’ve used for taking small action is staying within the body & thus creating negative results and we suffer in our imagination.
A culture of freedom and rights
Don’t get me wrong, freedom and rights are what give birth to life and creativity. We are living in a free world ( North America). We are fortunate that, we got more rights than any other person living in the communist regimes. We have the right to criticize the senseless policies of our governments whenever we can, whatever tool (social media) we like. Rights give us the freedom to choose/think, freedom to defend ourselves when we are in trouble(as long as someone knows how to apply them). The culture of rights and freedom works as long as it is checked constantly but how?
Responsibilities are what keeping the world in function & order.
There are 2 sides of the coin. Rights and responsibilities complement each other. We on the other hand just like to talk about rights, rights and more rights but, less is said about responsibilities in free world. When there is an election season every politicians talk about rights. Everybody tries to sell rights to people especially to young ones. My issue is this, young people already have gotten enough rights. They are desperate for responsibilities. They are craving for meaning.The meaning of life is embedded in taking heavy burden of responsibilities on your shoulders and have the courage to bear the cost associated with it.Essence of life
Our societies, governments and schools are doing the opposite of this. They are making young people (especially young men) to lose control over their lives by telling them that “we are living in a depressing world. It’s okay to stay confuse about your gender. It’s okay to be weak and complain. It’s okay to get lost in Netflix & video games. It’s okay to remove the essence of God from daily lives & disrespecting parents when they trying to enforce boundaries or rectify their kids lives”
The world is paying a terrible cost.
By tricking our kids to senseless political debates, we are paying a hefty price. Young men have become fundamentally weak and confused.
How to bring back the world to order from chaos?
In order to bring life back on the track, we need to refocus on real real things. We need to embrace our humble beginnings and sincerely take humble responsibilities towards our lives. It all starts with some purpose & consistently work on it. Picking up some humble goals are the best way to become best version of yourself.
I don’t think that, there is any other better way of living a sensible life without facing the burden of your responsibilities.
So, let the burden of responsibilities bring the tough character out of you. Maybe that’s what this world needs right now!
