How to Take Responsibility Without Guilt – And Truly Change Your Life
It’s easy to blame others. But real growth begins when you take ownership even if you didn’t cause the damage. In this post, I explore how I turned frustration into fuel for change.
The Illusion of Security — and the Cost of Freedom
Many people seek happiness in small things, so much so that they don’t even dare to consider that something much greater might exist. This isn’t an individual failing—it’s a collective conditioning. You didn’t mess something up; rather, many people have made many mistakes over time.
And the biggest misconception is believing that what you’re told to do is the same as your own will.
The Survival Illusion
This leads to the question: “Okay, but then how will I make a living?”
The world is structured so that the “secure point” is financial stability working hours equal survival. But this equation only holds as long as you don’t look deeper.
Crumbs for Control
Today’s work can be simplified as follows:
we labor over a dazzling, sugar-coated cake, yet we receive only dry crumbs, while the entire system benefits someone else.
It’s not about what you create. It’s about your presence.
About being controllable.
Thus, paid working hours become the gentlest form of dependency: there’s no violence, just routine and resignation.
And this is what people call security.
From Fair Exchange to Silent Obedience
But what if there were a system that considered: “how can it be good for both you and the other person?” We’d be building a different world.
The main question wouldn’t be how to profit from you, but how to exchange in a way that benefits both parties.
That’s how value exchange began.
Then came the system.
And since then, we’ve lived as if there’s no other path.
But there is.
It’s just not external.
Your own system can only begin from within.
