Answer preview

Responsibility is another reality and triangle of boundary that has been in existence since creation. Boundaries define the possibility of people to decide when they can take responsibility. Limits also allows them to defy specific responsibilities by differentiating their duties and influencing change through actions. Another essential reality is love. The decision to set boundaries in relationships will enable one to experience love. It creates a suitable environment in which other realities of responsibility and freedom can exist. Love is an intense feeling because it grants people freedom from captivity and hurtful towards others. Love also creates a sense of responsibility in terms of the actions taken for oneself and others.
