Taking Individual Responsibility For The Things We Love

Every time I listen to a copied music that I have not bought, my conscious makes me feel uncomfortable.  

It says, it's all about taking individual responsibility for the thing that you love, for being part of the solution and for being a good citizen who wants to get every possible best stuff....and do not hesitate to contribute in making so.

I don't know how far and wide my action can make it difference, but I am happy that I am not the part of the circle who discusses about the problem making long face but when it comes to apply their own established principles, they shrink themselves from doing so.

Here I am throwing a story for you, and you can pick up any ‘moral’ out of it, subjectively.

"There was a man enjoying a fresh breath of the sea beach. Suddenly a big wave brought many fish and the retreat its wave leaving the fish in the beach without water. Thousands of fish were dying without water. That man thought of saving those fish by throwing them back to the sea. However, a feeling that he alone can't do anything overwhelmed and he paralyzed himself from doing anything.

In the mean time, little far, he noticed something peculiar. He got closer and saw that a young boy was throwing whatever fish he could hold in his hand back to the sea.

He asked the boy, “what’s the point of saving handful fish, when thousands of others dying”

The boy replied without turning his face, “I don’t have power to save all, and that is not of my concern. What I am concerned is, I will save as much fish as I can.”

The man was spending his energ y to increase his horizon of “worry”
The boy was spending his energy to increase his horizon of “action”.

What happened next?

Many other people around the boy joined their hands with him and saved thousands of fish, if not all."
