Excellent comment. Taking responsibility is one of the greatest skills one can have.
Something that is lacking with people believing in 'higher powers'. Whether its religion or something esoteric as the LOA.
It gives piece of mind to people. They can put their trust in 'something bigger' and can brush off responsibility through it.
To me, the importance of personal responsibility goes hand in hand with my libertarian leanings. Politically in the Western world, from what I can see online, there is what I would call an "epidemic of abdication".. Abdication from personal responsibility, accountability, self ownership.
That is the main characteristic of the movement known as the "regressive left". Everything is, according to them, societies fault/responsibility. Governments fault/responsibility.
I don't buy into that shit for a second, and I wish less people did, but... again, it's comforting. Delusion and/or cognitive dissonance on a grand scale.
