While on the train from Freiburg to St Gallen I thought about responsibility.
On airplanes we are told to first put the oxygen mask on ourselves and then assist the others. Sometimes I think the world would be a happier place if we were to live by the same rule. It sounds selfish to say that you must come before anyone else and yet, what if it’s a responsibility we each have?
Think with me. Right now I cannot find but good reasons why we shouldn't above all try to be fine with ourselves and then take care of the others. When I think of the times I left this responsibility aside, when I expected someone else to look after my well being, I risked being disappointed, and often I was.
And my train just crossed from Germany to Switzerland! A new country to discover.
