Accountability

We don't hear much of this word, accountability in our daily lives. What does it really mean anyway? When used in the context of sentencing in the Criminal Court, it usually meant making the guilty felon pay back for his bad deeds against Society. Once in a blue moon, we would hear the word "accountability" associated with wrong doing's by public servants and or politicians. Personally, I'd like to bring back the use of this word "accountability" in our daily, ordinary way of living. We'll use it with our kids in school, with employees and employers, with parents raising their children, with adolescents and their parents, and in many other such human interactions and relationships. In contrast, let's minimize using the words "it's my rights ..." Maybe having too much rights in absence of "accountability" make us what we are today -- violence, intolerance, dispassion for anyone different, and such like's and 'schisms. So, bottomline is let's start here. I'll be accountable to all those I meet today and tomorrow, and I'll expect accountability from them, no more and no less.
