FFN 100: The Demise of Responsibility

Take a look around and I think you'll agree with me that there seems to be more and more men who are shirking their responsibilities as men. It's easy to understand why. It's always harder (at least initially) to accept responsibility. If you do, it means you'll actually have to exert yourself.

You'll have to go into the office a little earlier. You'll have to stay a little later. You'll miss the latest season of Game of Thrones (or whatever series happens to be on right now). It means you'll have to volunteer to help a neighbor in need. Or serve in your church or community. It means you'll have to put your own hobby on hold and help your child with his or her homework. It means that the hunting trip will have to wait because your business or family needs your attention.

Of course, when I put it that way, no sane human being would want to accept more responsibility. So, what do we do instead? We complain about rights and entitlements. It's pathetic.

"It's my right to free health insurance."
"It's my right to a good job."
"I'm entitled to my wife's support."
"My boss owes me a promotion."
"That company has to serve me the way I want to be served."

It's selfish. It's weak. And, most importantly, it's a detriment to yourself and society as a whole. What happens when the majority of people begin to demand "rights" without a willingness to accept responsibility for securing those rights? I think we all know the answer to that question. And, just in case you don't, the answer is, "it collapses."
