THIS I BELIEVE--RJ Mithra

                I believe in taking responsibility. Almost everyone experiences pain when they know they did something wrong, especially if it hurt someone else. When people make mistakes, they tend to push the blame on others. Even if they know they are somehow involved in causing whatever happened to happen, they ignore their conscience to avoid further pain. However, pain is what makes us think about what we have done and possibly avoid it in the future.

              I believe I control my life and even though some aspects of it are influenced by others, I feel the need to believe only I was responsible for my life. This helps me change and become a better person everyday. This may not seem a very important thing to do for many of you but it is or at some point, will be. People don't want to see their fault in anything and accept that they need to change. I realized that if I ever blame anyone: my family, friends, teachers, or even society in general, I'm going to end up with hatred and disgust for everyone and on top of that, nothing is going to change except that I'm going to lose the people who love me.

              I know I'm not the fault of everything bad that has ever happened to me, and sometimes, its hard to forgive people for what they've done, but when I realize that they only behave that way because they probably got hurt the same way by others, it's not very hard to forgive and forget. I've learned that if I ever blame the other person for a bad relationship, I'm going to want to take revenge and probably treat others the same way and that's going to do nothing but hurt me again. But I believe I have control over how someone makes me feel because in the end, it's my feelings, in my mind, and it helps me get rid of both the pain and the hate.

             It's easy to say, "I didn't have anything to do with it so I don't ahve to worry about fixing it," but I believe it's necessary to worry about stuff, not extremely, but somewhat, because even if it's not your fault, there can be something that you can do to make it a better situation.
