Accountability is one of my core values on any day and this is because, once people can’t be held accountable for their actions, there’s going to be a lot of wrong deeds being left to slide. Some years back, I didn’t know how to take criticism and always got defensive when I made a mistake. But soon enough, I came to realise this unhealthy habit and worked on it.
But then, one thing I always make sure of is not to be found on the wrong side of anything. With anything I do, I make sure to do it very well so that there would be no such situation where I would even have to be accountable for some actions. But we all know no one is perfect. Everyone can go wrong sometimes but there’s also always room for growth.
Family is more like our backbones as individual’s because our family in a way is what we are. We all need people to lean on in good and bad times and most at times, family is our go to in such situations. Every family has its problems. Even the richest of families have problems so let no one think their family is the only family with issues. Personally, I love my family and I wish to create good memories with them. Most importantly, I don’t tolerate any sort of disrespect towards my family, and anyone that tries this will have a problem with me. This is because I trust that everyone individual in my family knows what they want and are accountable for their actions.
Talking about taking responsibility for ones actions, everyone would at some point have to do that. But, do kids or children have to pay for their parents wrong decisions. I would say no. But in some situations they do. Let’s take an example where a man or woman decides to waste away their whole life doing nothing and end up struggling. Their kids most definitely would find themselves paying for things they didn’t even do. They would have to suffer with their parents each and everyday. Skip some meals because there’s no money for food, not go to school, and even having to hawk in the hot sun when their mates are in school studying.
Bad choices doesn’t only have to do with criminal acts where you’d have to serve time. And even if it should come to that’s, kids in one way or the other pay for their parents wrong deed’s because one parent in jail wouldn’t even be a good thing for a child’s mental health. Sometimes, we don’t really intent to make our kids go through such stuff but it does happen. I bet no parent wants to be a disgrace to their child or be the reason their child has to suffer. But with how life is, one bad decision can affect everyone in the family tree.
This is why it is very important to make sure to go about this life thing right. Think through things, make the right choices and build a good life because one day, you’d also be responsible for others and you wouldn’t want to let them down.
