Yes, responsibility is big and itchy. No one often wants to be the bigger person and admit that indeed it takes two to tango. There can never be fire without a spark. Moreover, it takes a friction or collision of two different things. You must run a match stick on the striker strip, then fire is born. In the ancient days, people used to strike two stones together until fire is ignited. Without the other, there is no way fire could be produced. Just as much in our lives, our actions must collide and cause certain emotions that would brew tension between ourselves.
We fall out of relationships because we each contribute to a certain course. It is very unfortunate that everyone wants to always appear as a saint before the other and dump the whole responsibility on others. We like to point fingers to others immediately without checking and acknowledging the contributions we make in the act. When someone says or does something, we do not just sit back and not respond; there is something that we do in order to retaliate and try to balance or square the hurt they imposed on us. We are too prideful and ego centric to accept our dues in the matter. Holy as ever! We turn a blind eye to the fact that some respond proportionally to how we first sent the message. I cannot sneeze just from nothing. My sinuses would have encountered a reaction prompter.
