Hi Bauru, Welcome to the Forum. US President Harry Truman made famous the saying that 'The buck stops here'. It means 'I take the final responsibility for something'.

  • Your sentence seems to be a rather vague and wishy-washy adaptation of this famous saying, ie each of us take responsibility for some things.
