Sense of
Responsibility & Accountability
If one
doesn’t have sense of responsibility & accountability one can hardly bring
harmony either in social or in personal relationship. We are not absolved from
accountability towards our surrounding which assign us responsibility we must
keep in mind the fact that our sulky and indifferent actions have enough
potential to create chaos and helter-skelter kind of atmosphere where we live. Actions
of a person speaks that how honest and sincere he is towards the responsibility
assigned to him. Everyone in anyway is accountable
to each other because the system which we have made and live in demands
participation of one and all in performing duties, responsibilities hence simultaneously
we have to be answerable to others directly or indirectly for whatever steps we
take. Thomas Paine said “A body of men holding themselves accountable to
nobody, ought not to be trusted by anybody’
Personal
relation, social relation or relation on any level completely depends on
sincerity of our acts, a bit apathy can make the engine of vehicle feeble
thereby carrying the relation forward become entirely difficult. A sense of
great amount of responsibility is required to establish good relationship among
whether he is father, son, mother, daughter or sister and all must have feeling
of accountability too because ultimately they have to be answerable not only to
each other but also towards surrounding. So instead of being maligned later we
need to be sincere in performing our responsibility carefully because it is we
who can make our lives hell at the same it also becomes your responsibility to
abstain from making life of others hell by turning blind eye to the your responsibility
because at some point of time you will also have to be accountable before others.
Mahatma
Gandhi said ‘It is wrong, and immoral to seek to escape the consequences of
one’s acts’. One has to be accountable for the acts. Sense of responsibility
& accountability can bring harmony in surrounding provided we have sense of
positivity, constructive thought. One must have courage to concede if one fails
to perform ones responsibility properly. JK Rowling said ‘There is an expiry
date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction, the
moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.’
Everyone has to pass through the some phases where one might have suffered because
of indifferent acts of people around but if he follows the same foot,
surrounding will get polluted by our negativity. Steve Maraboll said ‘As for
the journey of life, at some point of time you will realize that you are the
driver and you will drive .’ Hence one must try to play a role of responsible
driver who has sense of accountability so that journey of rest of traveler
could be ensured.
God had
sent thousands of messengers/prophets time and again on earth in different
places after creating a universe in order to establish a system where peaceful,
harmonious atmosphere prevail. They were imparted immense power of perseverance,
inculcated with responsibilities to bring peace, to guide the people and bring
them on right path, and how to live life according to doctrine which can enable
invoking blessing of almighty creator. They had carried out as per the
directives of creator and never absolved themselves from their responsibilities.
With the
personal responsibility on an individual level one should also never ignore ones
acts which can build a better surrounding therefore it becomes each and
everyone’s duty to shoulder the responsibility collectively, take steps for the
betterment of society, develop oneself to be responsible human being, create
harmony according to their capacity and foremost thing is always keep in mind
the fact that every human being become like a small or big pillar of society wherein
coming generation is going to stay. David Nicholas has rightly said ‘ better by
far to be good and courageous and bold and to make difference. Not change the
world exactly but the bit around you’
One needs
to concentrate on one’s individual responsibility towards surrounding as how
far one can contribute at personal level instead of looking around, raising
questions on others, blaming actions of peers. Society never forgive such
elements who are indifferent towards their responsibility around so be a
responsible human being, do the things sincerely and let others decide who is
responsible or irresponsible. Instead of involving in blame game we must
honestly believe in what Darren Shan said ‘ There are a lot of black hearted,
mean spirited bastards in the world. It is important that we hold them to
account. But always remember that you might be the most black hearted and mean
spirited in the lot, so hold yourself the most accountable of all.
