Man’s responsibility (one aspect)

Some people may consider it traditional, but I do hold a view (just for myself) that man should take up certain responsibilities such as taking care of love ones and being a dependable friend. I don’t think of these responsibilities as duties as long as they arise from within myself and not because they’re required or expected from others. It’s not as difficult to show genuine concern for a few close friends and wanting to do things or becoming better for them, but it gets harder when it comes to dealing with people outside this small circle. Ultimately, to be truly strong at heart and genuinely care about others without complain or regret, the motivation has to arise from my self and thus has to be consistent with my personal philosophy and self-interest. I think the best way to achieve this is to start small, and as I learn more about myself and the world around me, I would be able to gradually expand my concern and interests beyond myself and immediate circle and be able to live independently and provide positive energy to all those around me who need it.
