Have you ever noticed on the side panel of my blog there is a “Nature Quote of the Day” section? The above quote was there today, and it really made me think.

How many times does a simple snag in the road snowball into a huge problem because no-one is willing to step up and take responsibility? How many times have we had an argument with someone and said it “was ALL their fault”? How many times have we passed on taking responsibility for something (even if it wasn’t completely our problem) just so we didn’t have to have a tough conversation with someone?

How many times have I not felt responsible simply because I was such a tiny part of a much bigger picture?

I am a snowflake.
I do feel responsible.

How simple is that? I love the theory behind it, and I love that the quote is so so old. What intersting insight Voltaire had.
