Commitment. An act of selfishness

What are commitments? A binding contract? A leash on free will? What do you think?

I've always saw commitment as an important but incomplete concept to most. The way that people think, feel and carry commitment has got me confused. So I look into it and this is what I've found.

Duty, responsibility, commitment. Is made by choice. So it's origin is from oneself and own's will. That means we are free to choose the level of commitment. Usually that is not what people see. People feel as if they have No choice but to accept what is given. When chance hits them they do not know how to act. So they give in thinking that they have submitted to life. But I don't see it that way.

I see a duty, responsibility, commitment as an opportunity to act. To make a choice to pursue what I want. I have my free will. That's how I see it.

I make commitments for myself. I want to act on my behalf. Because it is my desire. I don't make commitments because people ask me to. I do it because I want to. I'm a gentleman badass. An honest thief. A settled nomad. A brilliant fool. An idiot genius. Cuz I is aweshum
