Duty

We all have a duty to society to be as moral as possible, as law-abiding as we can and as attentive to the world and productive in our work as circumstances and our own abilities and knowledge allow.
We have a duty to our family and our friends. We have a duty to our coworkers and employees. We have a duty to our customers.
When you consider, truly, where this sense of duty comes from you come up with words like: Tradition, Culture, Expectations. In truth they are all the same thing dressed in a different guise. What we feel is a sense of how we should behave, what we should do and what we are in relation to how we want to be seen in order to matter.
If we matter, our life (and everything in it) has meaning. If what we do has meaning then every difficulty we experience is justified.
It is that simple. Consider it against everything you think, believe and do. Then ask the simple question: What do you do to meet that duty?

4 个月#SeriousQuestion: How do we respond when we are faced with ever-increasing numbers of humans and business entities who do not share our sense of duty, our morals, or our ethics, trying to outcompete us on their level, without our own scruples? Because quite frankly, that is the level of #DisasterRecovery I have been forced to tackle with far greater frequency over the past couple of years. It's extremely easy to knock together a soundbyte article calling for moral/ethical behavior, when you're not in any way addressing the problems and disadvantages such ethics and morals bring with them in daily and working lives...
