             %RESPONSIBLE DUTY TO PREVENT SUFFERING 870314

     Some  officious  people  believe  that  they  have  a
responsibility,  a  duty,  to prevent suffering;  and feel
that they  have not yet fulfilled their duty if  they  see
others  suffering.    Such officious people  extend  their
sense  of  responsibility beyond their ability to  respond
with  serenity and integrity.   It is not  responsible  to
assume  responsibilities  which cannot be  fulfilled  with
serenity  in  integrative  ways which  help  persons  live
cooperatively in  community.   Taking  on responsibilities
which  have  not  been truly given to us is not a  way  of
helping  the  people  from whom the responsibilities  have
been taken.  It is more helpful to demonstrate integrative
ways  of  fulfilling  our own true  responsibilities  with
serenity,  and so  to show others the way to fulfill their
responsibilities.
