Anonymous asked: Whats your opinion on responsibility and being accountable for actions.

This question unfortunately got me thinking about some commitments that I’ve dropped out on recently, but I guess accountability is an interesting thing. Being held accountable for actions and being accountable for actions are two different things, so I think being accountable for actions is more like a self monitoring system that you choose how much a commitment or responsibility means to you, and your own accountability is affected based on that choice. 

Responsibility is more like something expected of you, which is a tricky thing. I don’t like being very responsible often when I don’t have to, because when responsibility is taken, and something goes wrong or happens, you have to deal with the consequences because of the responsibility.
