Taking responsibility is difficult. From children, we try to avoid blame, for fear of trouble or the disappointment of adults. However, as adults we try our hardest to instil into our children that taking responsibility is morally right and that being honest will make life easier later. In other words, thetrouble that comes your way will either be insignificant now that you have taken responsibility or significant if you blame someone else now and come clean later. Most of us learn this lesson either straight away or via failure to avoid blame and responsibility. We learn through the negative consequences of not taking responsibility. However, many of us seem to have lost this ability or at the very least only learnt this lesson at a surface level. When we do wrong or make a mistake that is obviously our fault, we own up, however it’s amazing how little is needed to slightly muddy those waters of responsibility so that we do not take responsibility and blame other people.
