Priorities, Accountability and Hurt
Lately, I've been thinking a lot about our responsibility towards the people in our lives. What sort of balance should there be between being true to ourselves and not hurting others? If I mess up, and hurt someone...and as a result, something I want to do keeps hurting a friend, do I keep doing it? What if that friend's hurt is a result of their issues, and what I'm doing isn't wrong?
Are we ultimately accountable to ourselves, or the people in our lives?
Should living my life in the exact way I want to live it take priority over hurting someone I care about? If we aren't true to ourselves, can we be any good to our loved ones, or is it all about balance?
I seem to have lots of questions, but am lacking in the answers department. Nothing new there... ;)

Hi Tania, It seems as life goes on and you become more sure of what you want and what you believe in others are also doing so. I have found that there has been some conflict as a result. I guess in the end we each have to decide how much each situation matters... it is unfortunate that some people get hurt by things we do for and to ourselves.. things that really may not be harmful at all, but just don't fall into others ideals. I know of this as it has happened to me. I come from what seems to be a hard-headed bunch, and well... there has been some abandoned relationships due to some family insisting I see situations from their perspective, but them not wanting to look at mine... where I'm inclined to look at both, I don't expect them to see things as I do, there is always more than one perspective... too bad we all can't see this.
