The heaviest and most difficult issue in the world is none other than that of responsibility.
The division, form, and bearer of responsibility are already complex enough; when entangled with the interests of individuals, departments, and nations, it only becomes a chaotic mess.
The issue of responsibility concerning the lives and deaths of tens of thousands of people is even more so.
——It's all your fault that these innocent lives were lost!
——If it weren't for you, these people wouldn't have had to die!
——How will you compensate the families of the deceased? How will you ease their pain!
In face of such righteous indignation and accusations, an individual has no response other than to accept death as atonement—no other way to bear responsibility.
This is why everyone strives to avoid such situations, to evade responsibility.
——What does their deaths have to do with me?
Such words of dissociation are the most common talisman for avoiding guilt.
