Accountability For Your Actions

You Are Accountable For Your Actions

Think before you act. If you destroy something, you should be held accountable. I have heard people say the government will pay for that. The tax money comes from all of us, and all are paying for something you destroy. People have destroyed national monuments, saying the government will pay for that. All of us will pay for the destroyed monument with higher entry fees into the parks. The destroyed monuments will never look the same and will decay much faster once their original structure has been damaged. Parks and monuments are for future generations to enjoy. Protect and respect your parks and monuments so young people can want them for many generations. You will be accountable to God for your actions while alive on earth.

Trying To Pass The Buck

Do not blame someone else for your ignorance and lack of respect for other people’s property. If you make a mess, clean it up. No one should hold your hand and tell you to clean up after yourself. I have seen people put garbage in a garage when the dumpster is only 3 feet away. Kids will say the other student did it when standing right next to the item they ruined. Stop trying to pass the buck and be responsible and upstanding in your community. If you got a new bike for your kids for Christmas free from the Salvation Army, do not go out the next day and get one from another place. Take only one item so that other people can have at least one.

Never Destroy Anything

Help people repair items that need fixing. When you break out windows on a building, you and all your friends will pay for those windows down the road. The store will have to charge more for the items to compensate for replacing the windows. No one wins when you destroy things. When you kill something, it shows a lack of intelligence on your part or of anyone taking part in it. Fixing damaged items costs millions of dollars every year. Everyone’s insurance goes up every year to select destroyed things. Your vandalism and no respect for others’ property will cost you dearly. You may not be able to get a job when your future employer reads your rap sheet. All of your arrests and criminal records are public knowledge that follows you around and around like a Merry Go Round.

 

Raise Your Kids So That They Are Held Accountable For Their Actions

If you see your child breaking something, explain to them that that is unacceptable behavior in your household or anywhere they may go. If they throw a rock through the neighbor’s window,w make them pay for the window and apologize to the neighbor for what they did. If you see them destroying public property, make them pay the store owner out of their allowance. Teach your children the correct values to have in life, as they will take them far.
