Limitless

Compulsiveness, freedom and responsibility are very misunderstood.

When worst possible events fall on people, they become wise. Those who do not become wise, they become wounded. Being wounded is widely accepted and people are sympathetic towards them but the wise ones are whom people trust in the end. Being wounded gives you an illusion of control, a wounded person has never felt how a wise person functions. A wounded person is prideful that he has the power to respond to situations, some also draw comparisons and similarities of this word ‘wounded’ to animals. In all of this we miss ‘responsibility’ - the ability to respond, not to play the blame game and react. Reaction is captivating, responsibility is freedom.

Now with freedom comes the question of how limited our freedom is. While talking about response we can identify how reactions can become responses. One is conscious and other is unconscious, when we become aware about the reactions, reactions turn to responses. When reactions are given freedom, they become responses. Being responsible gives us authority to exercise power over something and execute an act in a lot of different ways. Whereas, a reaction is one step process. We cannot act to everything happening around us but we can respond to everything that is happening around us. The limits of our freedom is the question that concerns almost everybody. We see how the sand, leaves react to the wind, we know how moon affects tides, our body must also be affected by the moon because of the water content. But, when acknowledge this from a single lens we see our body acting to the moon. When this action becomes conscious, aware and free, our body responds to the moon.

Capability of humans to respond is beyond bounds, we can respond to literally everything and this blurs the line of freedom.

Now tell me, is God responsible for the world?

The word says limitless responsibility, 
god says limitless responsibility, 
we have limitless responsibility. 
We are god, 
I am god, 
I am, 
am.
