The Responsibility/Fault Fallacy

Responsibility is considered something that one can be at fault for. That is why people shun responsibility. The truth is actually the opposite.

Accepting responsibility has a fringe benefit: It provides us with more power. We are not aware of this, and therefore are away from true power and freedom.

Just like a judge did not commit the crime, but is still responsible for the crime/lawsuit and what to do with the case, we are also responsible for many things that are not our fault or our choice. Fault may or may not be there, but it is the past, and the present is the responsibility.

One cannot get away with blaming others for their unhappiness, though most people do that. The truth is that no one has ever been responsible for your unhappiness, and it is completely your domain.
