everyone is responsible with what they do. law of responsibility.

Yes, and if I remember correctly, the more one is aware, the higher the responsibility.

Many people contribute to negative entities unwittingly. Once their eyes are opened, they share in the responsibility.

The situation is complicated by the money system and the fact that most people have to work in order to survive and care for their families. That too is responsibility. It would be irresponsible to neglect one's children.

One should not be in such a dilemma, to have to choose between caring for one's family and doing the 'right' thing at one's job. But the structure of 3D creates these dilemmas, as catalyst.

The reason for the dilemma is that most people are employed by others, and therefore involved in a contract. The contract is that they must obey their supervisors, in order to collect a paycheck. This puts them in a difficult position. They have sold their freedom, essentially, in exchange for a way to earn a living.

I would not judge someone in such a situation. It is the nature of the reality we currently live in. Some cases are very clear: The attorney who defends a murderer who he knows is guilty (he could have declined the case)...the medical doctor who knowingly promotes drugs that cause harm instead of heal, to pay for his million-$-house...Those are clear cases of unethical behavior because of greed. But the man who works for a minimum wage at McDonald's? His options are limited. Once his eyes are opened to the atrocities of the meat industry, his best option might be to work at Wal-Mart instead. But wait! Wal-Mart supports sweat shops. Yikes! What to do? Where can he work that doesn't support something negative at all?

For me personally, I remember very clearly making a conscious decision to work towards financial independence, so that I no longer was beholden to any supervisor or corporation. It is against my principles to suppress my own convictions in order to please the supervisor and keep my job. So I elected to be self-employed. I no longer must answer to anyone in order to earn a living, and I can choose a livelihood that helps people, instead of hurting people.

This didn't happen overnight. I wanted this for many years before it actually manifested. But the seeds were planted when I worked for that unethical company in that unethical industry. I didn't even like working for them at all, since I believe the educational system primarily teaches children to conform. (I homeschooled my son.) But there are a lot of things about society I don't like. We can't always just up and leave, unfortunately. That would be a disservice to our families who depend on us. But we can make decisions to work towards a way of life that is more in alignment with our principles.

I spoke up at the time. I questioned and I challenged what was happening. My efforts were wasted. Had I persisted, I would have gotten fired, and my family would have suffered. Had such an action at least done some good, then I could say, maybe it was worth it, to support a bigger cause. But getting fired would not have done any good at all. None of those children would have been helped in the least, by my foolishness in trying to stop a train by standing on the tracks. The person standing on the tracks just gets splattered!

Better to jump off the tracks, let the train go by, and then work behind the scenes to redirect that train, if possible.

Or choose to fly on an airplane and avoid the train altogether.
