Duty (Piety)

Society and statute may impose a duty, but it is one’s internal sense of duty that brings meaning and richness; consider the difference between a reluctant parent and an eager one, between a self-oriented soldier and a comrade in arms. Blessed are those in relationship with one who embraces a duty… unfortunate are those in the care of one who bears it, but doesn’t. Following are excellent illustrations of both (and the ordinary, occasionally comical or hapless people between the two).
