You May Get Away But Are You Really Free?
You May Get Away But Are You Really Free? Oh NO sirrrrrrs, today's piece is neither about crime nor action pictures. Instead, we'd like to highlight situational aspects in life where we're either legitimately entitled to GET AWAY or even those situations when it becomes circumstantial for us to GET AWAY even if it's NOT on our own volition. Let's start off with responsibilities we own NOT by choice but as a natural obligation. Heard of folks who turned their backs from their responsibilities, [wrongly] thinking that they can just GET AWAY with it? Or those who end up causing affliction, casualty or impairment only to GET AWAY from responsibilities?πππAnd do we remember instances in the past where a responsibility has fallen on our lap and even with apprehension and FEAR, we just DON'T even have that singular option to OPT OUT? Example of which is taking care of a parent at an advanced age and if that parent falls ill, you have NO choice but to do the needful? Another very common mix-up is ACCOUNTABILITY versus RESPONSIBILITY. Understanding and differentiating these two situations can help us avoid getting into a MIX-UP. To clear up, ACCOUNTABILITY entails your actions and their effects while RESPONSIBILITY includes efficiently completing tasks you're requiredπππ
Like it or NOT, we got to develop that differentiation because there have been zillion operational problems at the workplace because of the blurred [OR worst, incorrect] understanding of it. So while ACCOUNTABILITY occurs after a serious situation or problem arises and HOW someone responds to the issue that determines the outcome⏳⏳⏳
Whereas RESPONSIBILITY has broader coverages. The family's 'HEAD of the FAMILY' carries the heaviest burden on one's shoulder. Heard of HEAD of a family who simply GOT AWAY? But did that make him FREE? Literally, YES but surely, he can have sleepless nights✅✅✅
Our insight for today? While we can enjoy all our freedom, there are those limitations and constraints ESPECIALLY those turfs or areas where, on our own volition, we stepped in. Those are the ONE-WAY roads where there is no turning back, NOT because of force or coercion but because of responsibilities one [by default] embraces once he/she steps into an AREA of RESPONSIBILITY. Lesson here is that sometimes YOU MAY GET AWAY BUT ARE YOU REALLY FREE❓❓❓
