Responsibility, Accountability, and Leadership

Posted by 64bowtie on August 26, 2005, at 3:23:52

Relationships depend on these three traits, Responsibility, Accountability, and Leadership...

These traits are also required for citizenship... and Adulthood... Do I think citizenship requires adulthood??? Yes, and so does the Government!!!

So, do we fail our children by NOT demanding they become adults??? Yes, again!!!

Is violent behavior toward our family members bad citizenship??? Yes!!! See??? Its all tied together!!!

Wife beaters and child molestors have bad citizenship, so why do we treat them like adults??? Why do we put up with bad behavior from family members instead of demanding they become adults and practice good citizenship???

Adulthood implies responsibility
Citizenship implies accountability
Leadership requires healthy boundary management

Relationships, in order to be healthy, require:
1. Adulthood for responsible and civil behavior
2. Citizenship for being accountable to each other
3. Healthy boundaries for traction, so both parties have something of substance to hold onto

Suggested modality: work at it, patiently while furvently, incessantly while lovingly!!!
