Commentary
Listen to most people talk about responsibility and you will soon hear them speaking of duty and obligation. Generally their words are couched in terms that lay heavy on the hearer. There is something we must, or ought, to do.
The easy thing to do is to let our thoughts run in a straight line from such suggestions and assume there must be some sanction hanging over our heads in the case we do not keep our duty or obligation. Surely there is some threat, some cost, some price to be paid for our non-performance.
