Duty and Obligation


Antonio. Let us suppose that a boy named Antonio goes to a shop to buy rice. His mother has not the exact amount of money to give him, so Antonio says to the shop keeper, "I will pay for the rice tomorrow. "
Then, we say, he is under obligations to pay, or it is better than a thief, because he has taken something without paying for it. In other words, he has taken something which is not his.
Everyone in this world must give in return for what he takes. We must pay our bills, we must pay our debts just as Antonio must pay his debts. These are generosity for the kindness and generosity which we receive from others. If Antonio shares his lunch with a friend, it is the friend's duty to return the generosity by sharing his lunch some other day. This is called a social obligation or duty.

Our deepest duty. Our deepest duty is to our parents and to our country. We receives love and service from our parents every day of our lives. We must return it to them by loving and serving them. Our country gives us a thousand things which we take without ever saying," Than You." We are given school buildings, books, teachers and chance to receive education. All these these things cost the government millions of pesos. Unless we repay the government by working hard to become good, honest citizens, we are as bad as thieves who take money that dost not belong to them.
