Accepting Responsibility of Any Wrong-Doing
To Be or Not To Be

As a Michael Jackson’s personal doctor, Dr. Murray still doesn’t admit that he has done something wrong as a doctor. After we did something wrong, we might have that thinking of should we escape far away or face the result. Generally, admitting wrong-doing can make a difference in judgment’s sentence. From the story I Know What You Did Last Summer, by Louis Duncan, we can learn that escaping from our wrong-doing makes it gets worse and worse. Always, it’s important to accept responsibility for any action especially the wrong-doing part. In my opinion, it is not healthy to escape from the result of wrong-doing, because the soul lays significant part in our life. Keeping a secret can deeply harm our feeling about ourselves. It can disperse us and steal all the color of our life .When some people can’t live with that guilty in their mind, they might suffer from nightmare, anxious depression and they always blame themselves. As we can learn from the story, hit someone and run is worse than waiting for a police officer. Also, we need other people to respect us and they won’t respect us if they know that we escape from bad result of our doing. In short, sometimes it is easier to face our wrong-doing than escape from it to clear our soul.
Moreover, not admitting the wrong-doing may make the situation get worse and worse. For instance, if someone did something wrong in driving and he/she didn’t stop that might makes him/her pay a high fine or may get more than that like going to the jail. In another hand, if he/she accept the wrong-doing that will give opportunity to learn how to deal with similar situation. I think, wrong-doing always affects our life especially when we don’t face it. However, admitting that wrong doing may reduce the bad reaction and give us a chance to correct it. As a part of any job or duty, when we did something wrong we feel that this job or duty is un completed because it has something wrong. But, if we deal with it we

    It is understandable that it may be tempting for someone to resist being accountable. They may not want to get in trouble. They may want someone else to take the blame out of spite. Nobody wants to get in trouble, but if everyone lied and avoided justice, we would not be where we are today. Communication is an important part of maintaining accountability with everyone. We should always understand that it is not about being in trouble, it is about learning from our mistakes. If we do not suffer in some form for making a mistake, there is nothing to discourage us from doing it again.…

    Creon’s actions and judgment in the play Antigone were questionable, but I don’t think he deserved the punishment he received at the conclusion of the play. My philosophy of life probably influenced my decision because I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. Creon was arrogant and did not listen to anyone’s advice, including Tiresias, a prophet who has never told him a lie. However, in the end he realized what had happened and accepted his fate.…

    Personal Accountability

    • 562 Words
    • 3 Pages

    Accountability is normally viewed as being responsible, giving an explanation of your actions, to somebody for something. When you take 100 percent responsibility for holding yourself accountable, your performance will improve, your relationships will thrive, people’s respect for you will increase, you will be a great example for others to follow, and your self-esteem will grow. How is it that in all these areas of your life you can see such dramatic improvement? Because when you hold yourself accountable to doing the things you know you should do, you will distinguish yourself from the crowd. I am convinced if you want to advance your life personally or professionally, you must hold yourself accountable for your actions, responsibilities, and goals. Think about it. Why should it be someone else’s job to make sure you are doing the things that you know you should to be doing? When someone has to hold me accountable, because I failed to do what I should have done, I have a serious conversation with myself. My belief is that no one should have to hold me accountable for my actions, responsibilities and goals. While I appreciate others helping me get better, I am the one that must hold myself to a higher standard than my peers. Make no mistake about it. You cannot achieve any worthwhile personal or professional goal, if you don’t hold yourself accountable. The reason is simple. It’s your life! If you have to be held accountable at work, don’t expect to be promoted or to experience any type of significant career advancement. If you have to be held accountable at home by your parents, roommate or spouse, it will grow old fast and your relationships will deteriorate. Holding yourself accountable is nothing more than following through with YOUR commitments and responsibilities. It’s doing what YOU know YOU should do, when YOU should it. Whether you are 15 years old or 60 years old, let today be the day that you make the commitment to yourself that you will NEVER…

    Bodie Thoene once said, “What is right is often forgotten by what is convenient.” This quote means that most people forget the right way and just way to do things because of the easier and more convenient way. I agree with this quote because I have done it before many times, and have witnessed it many times. As an example, I once did something that was not kind, and when given the opportunity to be honest, I instead lied and covered up my wrong doing. I could have admitted my fault, but it was a more difficult option than to lie and ignore it afterwards. I have seen other people do this as well. Once I was with my friend and we were tossing a football around as we walked, and he tripped and bumped into a parked car. He left a small dent, and against my attempts to persuade him, he left the scene and didn’t say sorry to the owner. “The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost supports the idea of this quote; however, “Untraveled Road” by Thousand Foot Krutch does not.…

    In the second article I chose to read, Hall and Fincham (2005) discuss the concept of self-forgiveness. Their analysis seeks to get to the heart of what it means and essentially what it takes to forgive oneself for wrongdoing and reckless abandon. Enright (1996) defines self-forgiveness as “a willingness to abandon self-resentment in the face of one’s own acknowledged objective wrong, while fostering compassion, generosity, and love toward oneself.” Hall and Fincham (2005) argue that self-forgiveness is an internal and volatile aberration that results in both a retaliatory and benevolent appeal on behalf of the offender. The reason for this is because the offender is in conflict with their ability to do wrong and then compensate with righteous action in rebuttal to their transgression. After the stage of victim identification and reconciliation, avoidance occurs which puts the offender and any sense or notion of wrongdoing they may have had, at peace with themselves (Hall & Fincham, 2005). Furthermore, Hall and Fincham (2005) deduce that self-forgiveness does not imply an exemption from heartache, frustration, or regret. The offender will not magically fail to remember or begin to root for such behavior that should lead to another bout with personal disdain and disappointment. In fact, the offender will undergo extensive self-analysis and even consider the implications of interpersonal forgiveness from oneself toward another had they committed a similar offense. Lastly, Hall and Fincham (2005) give attention to the moral aspects of the self-forgiveness concept. According to Horsbrugh (1974) interpersonal forgiveness is bound by biblical scripture which Jesus himself states that “When you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins”…

    Self Forgiveness

    • 748 Words
    • 3 Pages

    This review article deals with the forgiveness of one’s-self. The article states that there are few definitions of self–forgiveness that can be found in the social sciences literature, but those that do exist emphasize self–love and respect in the face of one’s own wrongdoing. In the philosophy literature, self–forgiveness has been conceptualized as a show of goodwill toward the self while one clears the mind of the self–hatred and self–contempt that result from hurting another (Hall, & Fincham, 2005). My definition of self-forgiveness is when a person knows that something is wrong, but yet they go ahead and do it anyway. Later they start to have feelings of guilt and shame about what they did. These feelings do not go away just by ignoring them. The conscious mind will not allow them to forget what they did. Ultimately a person may feel so bad about what they have done, that the only option is to forgive one’s self. If this feeling is ignored, it can lead to continued feelings of guilt and shame as well as a feeling of condemnation.…
