To each their responsibility

A refined soul is in general one with the gift of transforming the most limited task and the most petty object into something infinite by the way in which it is handled.*
Friedrich Schiller

being human is nothing more than being conscious and being responsible**
Viktor Frankl

Our touch –
Those talents, energies, values –
Makes all the difference in the world:
The task, the role, the person,
Creating an infinite game, seeing
an infinite person;
We don’t come into the world preprogrammed –
It is always our choice, the joyful
responsibility opened to us through consciousness.

*Friedrich Schiller’s On the Aesthetic Education of Man;
**Viktor Frankl’s Yes to Life.
