On Responsibility

Forming a few thoughts out of disparate inspiration:

- Intention is what defines an act, not the act itself.

- Intent is impersonal, a field effect which is triggered by constancy of action, association, and familiarity.

- People are only responsible for acting, not for intention nor result.

- The results of an action are up to life in the full itself.

- The world is pretty much autonomous; it doesn't need you or yours to get along just fine.

- We don't own anything, not even our experience of life

- We steward our lives for the good that emanates out of it, and because the value of life is revealed by an intention of stewardship.

- If the overall aim is simply to be the best one can be, then failure is not possible.

Some good, some empowering thoughts here!
