Personal Responsibility
From the viewpoint of my own consciousness
What seems to be important at any moment in time is completely dependent on my point of view.
Who is right and who is wrong depends on my point of view.
Whether compassion is a sign of weakness or of strength depends on my point of view.
Whether or not the other person’s opinion has anything to do with me depends on my point of view.
Whether or not miracles happen depends on my point of view.
Whether or not God exists is completely dependent on my point of view — and my definitions.
All my life, all sorts of people have told me what to believe. Parents, teachers, religious leaders, newscasters, novelists, playwrights and screenwriters have all filled my mind with their versions of the truth. But I am the one who filtered it all, compared it all, listened to my inner guidance and decided which parts made sense and which parts didn’t.
It isn’t so-and-so’s fault that I believe what I do. I made those decisions myself.
And if I have information today which seems to prove that some of my beliefs were wrong — I can change them.
I always could. And I can now.
