Re: Duties
Obligation is ultimately within the self, and cannot be placed upon you from the outside without your consent, furthermore, a duty requires an effect, which implies a cause.
This may be a jump, but a duty is placed upon you, whether by yourself or another, which starts the cause/effect process. The duty is the effect. The duties preformed are the causes of that effect(or so we hope). It's not Inherent, it has to be created in the mind, at least from a metaphysical standpoint.
Your duties are what you decide they are, nothing is obligated without some desire you wish to obtain.
My first real response on this forum, sorry if it's full of holes haha.
