It is not simple, nor should it be. Because without it, we have no freedom. Taking responsiblity never works in just one direction, it is multi-directional. It doesn't come for free, but it is a price worth paying: "Responsibility is the price of freedom."
Totally agree. Freedom without responsibility is a recipe for chaos. In the US, demanding freedom to own a gun MUST carry with it the responsibility for the misuse of firearms. Otherwise, YOUR freedom is someone else's death sentence. In Africa, the understandable demand for freedom has not been met by an equal responsibility to respect the freedom of everyone else on the part of those who seize power. This has allowed the upsurge in petty dictators and a real LOSS of freedom.
