Being Response-Able

Fred Kofman discusses the fallacy of thinking we can be completely responsible for the consequences of our actions, especially in light of the "fiction of self"—it's like telling a dream character to be responsible for his choices, but how responsible can the dream character actually be?  Can there really be a "wrong choice" in a dream?  Does the dream character even exist to begin with?  The key, Fred explains, is not to feign responsibility for consequences that are well beyond our control—but to instead be “response-able” in the face of whatever arises in your actions, by simply asking ourselves "What is my dharma in this situation?"
