The Responsible Self: An Essay in Christian Moral Philosophy (Library of Theological Ethics)

Product Information

More simply put, your life is full of choices, and what you do with them governs your whole reality. Being able to see that your decisions have a direct impact on your life’s events is what being able to accept personal responsibility is all about. It doesn’t matter where you fall on the spectrum of the simplicity of your life, you are able to see that you create both the good and the bad circumstances. Keep your promises. There are two parts to keeping your promises. First, do what you said you would do (DWYSYWD). It creates trust with others and within yourself. Second, be careful what you say yes to. Your job is not to be a hero. It is to stay focused on your role and to work to your strengths. Know your boundaries, but apply compassion as you hold them.

Larger actions may have more devastating consequences, but even the words you exchange with someone else can have far-reaching positive or negative effects.

Looking for something different

A popular political movement for responsible government soon emerged, under local leader John Molteno. A protracted struggle was then conducted over the ensuing years as the movement (known informally as "the responsibles") grew increasingly powerful, and used their parliamentary majority to put pressure on the British Governor, withholding public finances from him, and conducting public agitations. Not everyone favoured responsible government though, and pro-imperial press outlets even accused the movement of constituting "crafts and assaults of the devil". [13] So, the first step is to become aware (or more fully aware) of the consequences of your words and actions.
