Responsibility is incredibly liberating but can also be heavy to hold. Our relationship with responsibility will determine how we handle it.

It's all so confusing. I guess both life and death can either be considered gifts or not. I guess it's how you perceive it, and I guess it also depends on your experiences. The world around us indirectly influences our thoughts and actions, so in a way, we don't have much control over ourselves, but then again, we have free will. I don't think I'm equipped enough to give a valid argument, but I do know that this essay is great! So thought-provoking and interesting!
