It’s not in our power to judge or set moral standards for men to adhere to, or footsteps that they should follow. We are human after all, bound by flaws and irrational choices. We are the object of human responsibility and this expands our lives beyond the frame of our existence. And every man is accountable for every action he makes and every inaction he chooses, for the consequences that follow and the ripples created.
We are free! The true worth of our freedom is expressed in our ability to decide the actions we take, the relationships we make and the bonds we form. Every man is accountable to himself, to his belief and to no other. Our decisions and in fact the links in the chain of our lives and are bound by those decisions. A man is free to choose whatsoever he wants to do with that freedom, without infringing on the rights of others.
Society defines our laws, laws attempt to guide our actions but a man’s liberties are forever still. We cannot enshrine our beliefs on other people, simply because we believe it to be right. Moral compasses cannot be defined by general acceptability, less we run the error of accepting general evils as right, simply because we all believe in them religiously. A man is free to choose. That is the fundamental principle behind life and a man is accountable and bound by the consequences of his choices.
We are accountable! That is the defining, salient point. The point when the penny drops. The daunting moment when we realise, that we are accountable for all the choices we make and have made and are responsible for their consequences, is when we truly wake up. So awake! Our lives are bound by the choices we make but more-so, they are defined by those choices. Make a commitment to consider every choice, with a deep sense of thought and meaning and commit yourself to choosing wisely.
