| | I love this article, Tibor, because often I get asked the infamous question, "Don't you feel responsible to others?" I usually respond by stating unless they're made my responsibility by consent (like caring for my nieces and nephew, or being a crew chief at a factory) I have no responsibility to anyone, especially those which I never gave consent to 'manage.' The problem is people some how believe they are born in debt to others, and I still haven't figured out any proof of this. There's the possibility I owe my parents or caregivers my graditude, but none of that extends beyond them, and I do it with consent. Whereas, by contrast, the so-called social responsibility drivel, I'm forced to care for others who usually don't care for me in kind, and it's often to my hazard, and not to my benefit. If folks realized this fact about it, then maybe it wouldn't be assumed as a given.
