RESPONSIBILITY:
Caretaking: the act of taking responsibility for
other people while neglecting responsibility
for ourselves. When we instinctively feel
responsible for the feelings, thoughts, choices,
problems, comfort, and destiny of others, we
are caretakers. We may believe, at an
unconscious level, that others are responsible
for our happiness, just as we’re responsible
for theirs.
It’s a worthy goal to be a considerate, loving
nurturing person. But caretaking is neglecting
ourselves to the point of feeling victimized.
Caretaking involves caring for others in ways
that hamper them in learning to take
responsibility for themselves.
Caretaking doesn’t work. It hurts other people;
it hurts us. People get angry. They feel hurt,
used, and victimized. So do we.
The kindest and most generous behavior we
can choose is taking responsibility for
ourselves – for what we think, feel, want, and
need. The most beneficial act we can perform
is to be true to ourselves, and let others take
responsibility for themselves.
