RESPECT AND RESPONSIBILITY

 
So many lives have been destroyed just because no one was responsible for them. Juvenile delinquency is the order of the day just because some children were not cared for. They grew wayward and became thugs on the street.

Responsibility is simply "Response to the Ability" you possess. Live responsibly! If you have the ability to stop that child from going wayward, do it! If you fold your arms and watch, you could be watching a destiny go marred. Be a good example to that young child. Strengthen that friend! Sow the seeds of your words. Be sure, One day, it will grow! Claim the salvation of that loved one in prayers.

 This is a call to responsibility! Certain people demand respect from others, but I discovered that Respect is not to be demanded. Respect is earned. One of the ways to earn respect is to be responsible. Instead of demanding respect, be responsible first! Another important way to earn respect is to respect others.

Esteem others better than yourself. We find it so easy to shout at "conductors", "gate-men", "cleaner" and so on. You earn nothing by esteeming other people likely, irrespective of their status! 

I leave you with this: "Live responsibly!” It pays! Rescue that destiny from being ruined!
