Does everyone remember Aesop? Ancient Greek author of fables … And so. Once his master (Aesop was a slave) named Xanthus, while drinking, promised the noble inhabitants of Samos that he would drink the sea! Having sober up, he was horrified by his trick, as he swore by the gods! Naturally, he was called upon to answer for his words. Plus, his entire estate was at stake. Xanthus began to ask Aesop for help in this desperate situation.
(now the main thing!) Aesop, after thinking for two hours, said! - Let those who demand that you fulfill your oath separate from the sea all the many rivers and tributaries.. You didn’t promise to drink rivers too ?! And when, everything will be honored without excesses, you will drink the sea.
How does this relate to the discussed topic of responsibility? This is a metaphor: where Xanthus is a man crushed by his own complex of God; The sea is a responsibility that he cannot bear because of its inadequate size; Rivers and tributaries are "something else in us," that is, social attitudes, introjects, parental prescriptions, representations manipulatively imposed on a person, etc.
Xanthus' refusal to drink the waters of rivers together with the sea is a return to a reality in which RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD BE EQUALLY RESPONSIBLE TO THE PERSONAL PERSONALITY AND NOT GO BEYOND THE FRAMEWORK OF ITS RESOURCES!

Vulnerability And Responsibility Part 2 (connection Between Sacrifice, Dependence And Lack Of Responsibility)
In the previous part, we briefly looked at how lack of responsibility and decision-making skills are correlated with mental retardation. That women, due to social upbringing, have more problems with these skills than men. Therefore, therapy in men is more often faster and easier.
