Ownership and Commitment

Ownership and commitment walk side by side in the minds of men.

Aurelius Kadzius

Men see the two separate from each other, we know it to be wrong; we know it to be an absolute wrong. As we see the two separate, it is instinct that identifies it.

When we see it in men, they are labeled as not trustworthy, that something is wrong with them, they are out of order, or even disconnected, chaotic, distracted.

When a man takes full ownership of himself, he prepares for the pain of knowing himself so well that he cannot hide from himself with any type of rationalization, and he will not be able to leverage his logic as a replacement for courage, unless he commits to self-deception.

Ownership takes commitment. I cannot even begin to own myself and my actions, past and present, without acknowledging that I committed to them by doing them, perhaps not just once but multiple times, if not more.

Have you ever heard men say, “Own that shit, bro.” They are telling you to acknowledge that you committed to do something fucked up, knowing it was wrong, regardless of the reason you committed to those words and actions, whether it be out of weakness, fear, loss, acceptance, social status, greed, lust, whatever it is. Even when a man desires to be forgiven, he must first take ownership of what he did. Ownership and commitment are two sides of the same coin.
