“To be equally serious in receiving such communication, one must be not only a responsive but also a responsible listener. You are responsive to the extent that you follow what has been said and note the intention that prompts it. But you also have the responsibility of taking a position. When you take it, it is yours, not the author's. To regard anyone except yourself as responsible for your judgment is to be a slave, not a free man. It is from this fact that the liberal arts acquire their name.
(P. 140)”
Mortimer J. Adler, Charles Van Doren, How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading

“Neopaganism is about accepting that no one is more responsible for my spiritual growth than the trinity of me, myself, and I. No one is more responsible for working to maintain stewardship of this planet and its occupants. No one is more responsible for ensuring that spirituality continues to be a forceful part of daily life. No one is more responsible for guaranteeing that humans have the right to investigate the truth for themselves, provided their beliefs and resulting actions cause no other person unnecessary harm or discomfort. Neopaganism is a spiritual practice that, having been born out of ancient times, has arisen to return the responsibility of life choices back to the individual so that we can no longer point a finger without noticing the three pointing back at ourselves.”
Runa Pigden

Madeleine Ryan
“Parting ways with someone or something doesn't always make sense, so people often create reasons to be angry and resentful, because it weaves a stronger narrative around the process of letting go. That way, they don't have to take responsibility for their part in it, because, you know. So-and-so was just a bitch and shit.”
Madeleine Ryan, A Room Called Earth

the answers are within.

If I am the one creating my life,

It is simple,
Begin Within”
