Who are you responsible for? Friends, family--siblings? How seriously do you take that responsibility, and when do you think it is appropriate to let go of some of it? Is it just another weight for you, or is it something you embrace, something you'd miss if you lost it

I am responsible for their well-being. That is something I shoulder so long as I am alive.

All right. What constitutes 'well-being'? Their (family?) moods, or just their health?

Re: [text]

Their health and prosperity.

The latter seems like it's probably more challenging to manage.

No. This is my duty to them.

What if their definition of prosperity differs to yours...? Or do you tend to let them decide that sort of thing? (I'm genuinely asking out of personal interest, here; that's one of my considerations with people I'm close to, as well.)

If they are aware of their best interests.

Oh. And if they're not, you just...?

I act as I see fit towards what is best.
