Reponsibility...

Responsibility... I don't know if I understand the term completely or not, I mean I think I am responsible but then most of the people don't. (Although this is not the only topic where others differ from me). For me, responsibility is more of a term which calls for itself, as in I am sure if the need arises, I'll priortize what to be done, how it's to be done and shall act accordingly but then if there is no need for it, why do it??

Alright, let's take a situation now. I am an extremely forgetful person, forgetful to the extent that I have a note on my cupboard reminding me to drink water, clean my room etc. let's assume there is another guy called 'Pillow' (it's right in front of me, which is why) so now Mr. Pillow remembers everything and does everything on time. So would you call Mr. Pillow responsible and me non-responsible. I wouldn't, not because pillows aren't alive but because I know I forget which is why I put a note as a reminder, now isn't that responsible.

Second issue, I purchase what I like without considering if it's worth it. Most people, sorry all the people also categorize this as being irreponsible, and since everybody's opinion is the same I assume they are right, but my question is if I work and earn enough money to do all my duties (pay my bills, send money home etc) and I still have money to spare, why can't I buy something that'll make me happy, why should I settle for less when I can afford the better one if not the best!!!Nopes, everyone wants me to save waiting for a situation to come to use that money!! What if that situation never comes, what if I can arrange money at that time if I don't have it.

You know, I know exactly what my problem is, it is that I don't see a problem in the way I interpret things. God help me, I don't think anyone else can.
