Burdened? Rest in this:
Faced with my own limitations and the limitations of others, I push—myself and others. I over-function. I make myself responsible for the limitations and weaknesses and darkness of others, because, in part, I am afraid of those things in me....[via odyssey]
Holding “everything together” is an overwhelming responsibility, especially for those prone to wounded egos that impel us toward feeling responsible for too many things and people....Irresponsibility, living a life “not dominated or even influenced by any attachment to any created thing,” refusing to take responsibility for what we cannot and must not control—that which belongs to God alone—may be the most responsible way we can live.
