Duty is what makes us do the right thing when love isn't enough. Like when we care for an aging parent who through dementia and or physical debilitation has long ceased to be, in many ways, lovable. Duty is not a bad thing or mindless thing, not at all.
Mighty Deep Roots is my blog (I hate that word) about language. I discuss mostly great words and why they're great, but also other different things about language that I find interesting.
