		<description>What amazes me is not that everything has consequences but that so many people in our industry act as if _nothing_ they do has consequences.

The butterfly effect is one thing. But people do things that have direct impact on other people&#039;s well-being and don&#039;t waste a moment in reflection because their boss told them to or that&#039;s the way the world works or if they hadn&#039;t done it someone else would have.

I understand and feel the same pressures. I&#039;m the breadwinner for my family. I know what it is to make choices that cause other people pain. Accepting responsibility for that does not make for a good night&#039;s sleep. But if we don&#039;t grasp that our actions are our responsibility regardless of the circumstances then we cede the battle before it&#039;s begun. We don&#039;t stand a  chance of making the lives of our co-workers or of our customers better.

Making mistakes and making the best of a bad situation is human and inevitable. But denying responsibility for our own actions and affecting others thoughtlessly - that&#039;s inexcusable.</description>
