It is our choice to set things what we want to do and things we do not want at the same time. Even the act of not making any choices in life and the things we decide, is a choice. We are not only responsible in everything we act or do, we are more accountable on our actions and decisions. It is like laying seeds on the good ground so that in the future we have something to harvest. Everything is a choice.
If a farmer will not choose to plant the proper seeds on a good ground and on a right season, when the harvest period will come, surely, the wrong crop will not produce a good harvest. Is there someone to be blamed? Is it the farmer himself we will blame? If you are one of his neighbors, are you willing to share your properly planted crops when he will come begging for help because they have nothing to eat? Are you required to give him food for his family? Does his self imposed hardship needs to place you on his sad experience also?
"For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10.
A phrase that we used to see posted in some businesses was: "The failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on my or our part." Would you agree as people like to pawn off their problems and emergencies onto others?
The "poor me" and "lack of responsibility for one's actions" attitudes are now at epidemic proportions in this country.
