Responsibility

Spiderman once said that with great power comes great responsibility. If you have super powers it's entirely your job to save the world. If you're as ordinary as I am, your biggest job would probably be to walk your dog...finish your homework....wash the dishes.
But even if you can't walk walls or fly or change things with a snap of your fingers, do you still totally not have responsibiltiy?
I mean, I can't do any of the above, but I'm still not totally responsibility free. (What heaven is that??) Nobody is, to tell the truth.
The thing about responsibilities is that they are like roots of a tree. Very strong. Like a commitment or bond. Once you're responsible for something or someone, you have to make sure it(whatever it is) happens and happens well. And if you don't make sure, you don't feel good about it because that means you aren't responsible. And it's not auch a great feeling. Trust me. I've been there.
Responsibiltity is like a privilege that your parents, guardians, friends give you. And if you prove you dont' have it, it's worse than being grounded. Because there's so much your parent's and other people let you do because they think you're responsible. They let you cross the street because they think you're responsible enough to watch out for cars. They let you make friends because they consider you responsible enough to choose the best person to share your feelings with.
Responsibilty is like a wrapper of a gift. You show you have it and the gift is the most precious thing you can ever get.
