RE: Are you accountable? Are you responsible? They are not the same thing you know...
I believe that we are in a current state of society, at least Americans, where so many people desire the mantle of being responsible without having to worry about the Accountability. There is a level of trust for the person leveling the responsibility on someone, that the person will be accountable to the task given.
Responsibility can be equated, in some way, to POWER.
If I make you responsible for my money, My STEEM, then I am trusting you to be accountable for how that money is used and maintained.
So is TRUST the next term that we need to explore? Or do we just assume it as a part of Accountability that we earn the trust we desire from each other?
trust is earned, but it also has to be given and sometimes being worthy alone doesn't make it easier for the giver who has been wronged to issue it to others easily. This is a big onion to peel, im not sure im prepared to tackle that topic just now... but some day!
Maybe we'll do a show and ramble about it with an audience sometime!
Thanks Mike, hope all went ok at the docs!
