ON RESPONSIBILITY 1

Responsibility exists as general abstract idea although one can't see it: one grasps it. Reasoning persons become under the idea of responsibility when acting without brainwashing, pressure of threat, or acting and reasoning as the autonomous mind. 

It's a fact we distinguish responsible from irresponsible people, like wise from ignorant. But if the word "responsibility" is nothing but a subjective belief and one's belief is true for him, then everybody is as responsible as somebody else. So each person's private beliefs would be true: what things seem to each person to be like, that is also what they really are like.


But then nobody can distinguish responsible persons from irresponsible ones. That claim would not correspond with the visible fact: people have objective properties. We know that somebody is smart and that somebody is stupid. So knowledge is not relative.


We don't see Mrs Jones is responsible: she hasn't "being responsible" as visible quality such as color red and form tight are.

                      The electric lights mean the urbanized areas. Human beings go 

                          towards light. Happiness? Who faces the concequences?

When asking "Who is responsible for this mess?", we want to know the guilty who is the first cause in an institution: they who command can't shift the act on someone else. The chain of causes ends in managers.

We are all responsible to the future human race, according to Bertrand Russell.
