39. The Frustration of Being Questioned: Who Are We Accountable To?

---

I can’t believe how many times I’ve thought about this saying over the last couple of months, even in reference to myself.

The question is: why? What makes us revert to a childlike version of ourselves?

It’s not hate, it’s not fear, it’s frustration. But what makes us so frustrated that we become unable or incapable of speaking?

The removal of our rights and liberties.

Have you ever completely lost it because someone questioned your actions? How dare they! What right does anyone have to ask you a damn thing, especially when you’ve been doing it all on your own for so long?

We live in an era where we want what we want, and we want it right now, no questions asked.

So when we’re questioned, we get frustrated. How dare anyone question me? Who the hell are they? I’m an adult, so no one should dare question me or what I do!

But then, who are we accountable to?

Sometimes, you need to be accountable to more than just yourself, or you’ll forever be on the wrong path.

Or maybe you just need to tell people to mind their own business. 😡
