MY RESPONSIBILITY TO MYSELF By GLORIA GRIFFERO I owe my greatest responsibility to myself. When I was born, God gave me a body, an intellect, and a soul. It is my responsibility as a creature of God to live in the body that he gave me and not to cast it away whenever I feel that life isn't worth living. It is also my responsi- bility to try to keep this body as physically fit as I can. In this way, I can enjoy the honest pleasures of the world. Perhaps, in the course of my life, I may lose the use of one of my limbs or organs. If God should see tit to send me such an affliction, I should be resigned to His will and should try to arrange my life and work in such a way that I could do the most good to everyone-myself, my neighbors, and my God. As Milton so beautifully expressed it in his sonnet, On His Blindness, Who best bear his mild yoke, they serve Him best and They also serve who only stand and wait. My intellect did me no good when I was born. It had to be nurtured by my parents, my teachers, my friends, my pastor, and others. As I grew, my intellect grew also, and very soon I could tell the difference between right and wrong. It then became my duty to broaden and improve my intellect. This meant reading good books and poems, associating with good companions, attending good movies, thinking for myself, following excellent leaders, leading a group myself occasionally, and co-operating always with others. Greater than my responsibility to my body and my intellect is my responsibility to my soul. My soul is a spiritual, eternal thing. It is the part in me which is God. Therefore, I should try to keep it pure and clean. I should feed it with pure thoughts, virtuous actions, and devout prayers. Since I shall always live with my soul and its close kin, con- science, I shall have to do kind deeds if I want to be proud of myself. Yes, my responsibility to myself is a large one, but by fulfilling it, I fulfill my responsibility to my family, my community, my city, my country, and the world.
