Hi!
>Responsibility is a matter of taking into consideration that which surely won’t happen
Does this mean that "Responsibility is a matter of taking into consideration things that surely won't happen (something that is not supposed to happens)"?
I am not sure about the "that which" part.
I am also not sure whether the "which surely won't happen" part means "something that it not supposed to happen".
Thank you!
