Who is responsible?

Something to ponder from His Holiness the Dalai Lama

"Responsibility does not only lie with the leaders of our countries or with those who have been appointed or elected to do a particular job.
It lies with each of us individually.
Peace, for example, starts within each one of us."

. . . it is easy to shift blame and responsibility else where, "it's their fault". "I'm just too busy going to work", "taking care of my kids", "trying to make ends meet".

But what if you didn't have that job to go to, what if there was no where for you to take your kids to play because of bad air quality, what if the "ends" are too far apart and you can't make them meet!

Taking just a small step is enough to get started, make a phone call, write a letter, express your discontent, stand up and be counted, join those that are doing something, just joining will make a difference.

We do the things that are important to us, make quality of life important, make your future important, make creating peace important.
