This is in part what made me wonder if you were an academic teacher. 
Sounds like something a teacher would say.
Ok. It was simply to clarify - if we are to discuss anything, it helps to be on the same page so to speak. Otherwise we may be using the same words but be talking about different things.
I hope you know I meant this endearingly, because I
teachers. And I love questions and opportunities to explain. I still have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming that you really want me to elaborate!
Responsibility means that a person does not deny the affect their actions create.
What if there is a case of an individual whom consciously believes they did not do harm even if they did, or an individual whom consciously believes the one who was harmed caused them in some form to do the harm? This assumes such individuals or such a mindset may exist in the environment being described.
Well, in the end, if perceived harm comes to someone, I believe it is because their soul has approved it in an attempt to learn. So it is never really the other person's fault because if the victim was not in need/want of the lesson/experience of harm, then it would not have received it. This is my belief.
To add to this thought, one day when I was reflecting on some reading I had just done about people who get abducted by aliens that then seemingly hurt them, I thought,
Oo, I wonder if my guides would protect me if these aliens abducted me! At which point a spirit message clearly interupted my thought process saying, emphatically,
You would protect yourself. All things [of this realm] are consensual.
Ok, now how do you think an individual might determine or consider it a natural consequence?
I suppose that it would be up to the violator to admit to doing it consciously, and hopefully wish to pay restitution. But if not, then it would be up to a judge/jury to decide. It would be great if there were people who could simply divine the truth. Or even better if all the citizens would be taught and accept the concept of responsibility as part of their upbringing and societal structure.
Perhaps "Self sufficiency" might also be used here?
Yes. And I think that self-sufficiency is part of responsibility. But if not, then, yes, I would add self-sufficiency separately.
So balance is an aspect then...?Yes. So far: responsibility, self-sufficiency, and balance.
An analogy of how I see people responsibly coexisting is like cells in a body. Each cell has its function and its boundaries. Not enough resources starve the cell, and too many drown it. Also, one cell should not impede upon another cell. It should work within its boundaries and limitation and should expect that its boundaries are also respected.What determines this "should" or how might it come about?I meant that an ideal society behaves like physical cells behave when they are efficient and balanced. That's the analogy I was making. They stay within their own boundaries, do their intended job, and they seem to be regulated with the right amount of nutrients and a good flow, etc.
