The difficulty we have in accepting responsibility for our behavior lies in the desire to avoid the pain of the consequences of that behavior.

Whenever we seek to avoid the responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But this means we then give away our power to that entity.

Payment for good behavior
Payment for good behavior
Need is a reality which can come in any one’s life.
At such occasion somebody gave me money letter I returned the money to him.
Next time another man gave me
Money,
Good behavior,
And nice words full sympathy.
We take breakfast also on the table where the deal was accomplished.
Later I returned his money but I had no words to pay for his good behavior and nice words
To which he offered me at my difficult time.
I realize that we can pay for good behavior only by good behavior not by money.

So obviously, any religion embodies some form of rules and expectations for behavior, and even sometimes consequences, and they don't want to hear any of that.
So to hope to be able to have peace, to be able to have justice and environmental balance, are consequences of our behavior, not just our intentions.

The type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.

Desire and Wish
What do I desire and wish?
Is love a scene of fight to finish?
Why so much magnetic pull?
When life is needed to live in full
I am young enough to go for relation
But I need some respect and felicitation
I don’t want it to remain one sided
As later on the interest may be collided
It hurts when no response comes
It is felt at heart and always welcome
One needs to develop only liking
Rest all story may be self speaking
I have seen people complaining about pain
Burning of desire and at the end no gain
I would love to remind of only thing
Love is not commodity to barter for something
It may cause lots of problem and hurt
The reply, sometimes, may be little curt
But yes it is hidden inside with little shyness
You must take rightly without any volt face
It is not shadowed in behavior
It has to be somebody’s endeavor
One may go in for limited extent
But chances must be taken as heavenly sent
Make full thrust with honest intent
Say you have only love and nothing else to comment
It is desire to be realized with equal zeal
The love then may look original and real
Even animals do care about their behavior
Express it without any language what they seek for
It is reciprocated with same intensity
Love has tremendous pull power and capacity

Good behavior is a virtue for the man -- bad behavior is the virtue of a woman.
It is always easier - and usually far more effective - to focus on changing your behavior than on changing the behavior of others.
