"Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect." ~Eleanor Roosevelt
I liked this quote because I agree with everything Eleanor Roosevelt said. People imagine that freedom is like flying away, soaring higher and higher and never landing again. But the things that are expected of you as a member of society, your responsibilities, weigh you down. At the same time, those things also make you free.
"A person must always be accountable for their actions of their independence, and be able to own up to what they have done or will do."
I chose this quote from Moy Zhong's blog because I think she did a good job explaining what responsibility is.
