You are Responsible

Who is responsible 

for all the suffering 

of all the people in the world?

You are.

If you do not take responsibility,

and neither does your neighbour,

nor your neighbour's neighbours,

then is it no one's responsibility?

It is useless 

to keep pointing fingers 

at the rest of the world

when the rest of the world

simply point their fingers 

at the rest of the world.

The point is...

to point inwards,

to point at ourselves.

You are responsible 

for not relieving suffering (including yours).

You are responsible

for not being a Bodhisattva

fast enough

to be able to help all beings

fast enough.

Yes -

no doubt about it.

It is all your fault!

Nobody else's!

But of course,

by that,

I mean...

it is...

entirely MY fault -

not yours -

at all...

if you know what I mean.
