Manson's Radical Responsibility

This book "The subtle art of not giving a fuck” is lauched in 2016. Manson questions what are the things you actually care about. He also states that life is happening all the time and that you can either dwell on things that happened, which is also a choice you've made, or you take the responsibility for the things that happen, regardless if it was your fault or not. Fault is something in the past, while we live in the here and now. So, he states that it is more important to focus on the things that you still can influence, which is your future. Take responsibility for the things you do. 

Baby on the doorstep example.
In one of his blogs, Manson explains the responsibility/fault fallacy. In that blog he give the example of getting a baby on your doorstep: "if you woke up one day and there was a newborn baby on your doorstep, it would not be your fault that baby was put there, but the baby would now be your responsibility. You would have to choose what to do. And whatever you ended up choosing (keeping it, getting rid of it, ignoring it, feeding it to your pet parrot), there would be problems associated with any of those choices and you would be responsible for those as well."

I really started to appreciate Seth Godin's take on responsibility.
While accountability runs the risk to promote fingerpointing ("I hold you accountable"), responsibility is on yourself. How much responsibility you take is a choice you make.
