Christa, if you see hardships and respond by wanting to be there, to offer help, support, presence, and if you act on that response, then that is social responsibility in action. It's all the more pure and profound for you being unaware of it.  |
I never thought of it like this. I always thought of responsibility as an obligation but I like to see it from this view much better.

I love how you put it, that you can't 'unsee' the bars of the cage. That's true. That seeing results in responsibility (responsibility of the duty sort, this time, Jen and everyone) is very meaningful.

I definitely agree with this. I love the way this is put.
