Personal Responsibility
(3 votes, average: 5.00 out of 5)
On this Independence Day, which some are now naming so aptly Dependence Day, I want to talk about personal responsibility. As in the words of one of our Founding Fathers, Thomas Jefferson, “I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it”. Thomas Jefferson believed in the merits of hard work and the belief that we are the ones that are most responsible for our own lives and not a government forcing others to take responsibility for us. This nation was built on the princples of personal responsibility and we have a Declaration of Independence and Constitution that reflect these values. I find it interesting that last year I also wrote about personal responsibility. Follow the link above. It seems to be a reoccuring subject with me every 4th, but I can’t just sit by and say nothing when I see one of our founding principles trampled on with impunity by those that currently hold power.

You harp on and on about personal responsibility, but what about our responsibilities to take care of others. This is a collective existance
