Target of Responsibility

Sword over the head!!!

The fear of death!!!

Who feels it, knows it.

Sometimes there’s a desire to assume the role or life of someone perceived as more important and fortunate. With outright neglect or ignorance of the baggage being carried by that person. One laments about their sad predicament, whilst embellishing that of another.

The mere thought of insignificance brings anguish. Spurring the constant quest to assert importance. But where does it end? Within one’s sphere of influence? Beyond it? Then where after that? At some point one has to contend with it at some level if one’s association is to be elevated.

With regards to the desire to be important. The question is: Is the desire such that it can be absolved simply by hearing of its consequences? If not, will observations of its impact on another person and the surrounding environment do the trick?

The sad reality is that for some of us, it may only be absolved through objectivity during and/or after personally experiencing it. A lesson known all too well to be taught by nature and her innumerable agents.
