Duty. Defined as: a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility. We all have a duty, a task, a mission that we feel compelled to complete deep within our natural selves. We have a duty to our family, Nation, and our people. See, duty isn’t work in the labor sense, but an obligation one feels proud to undertake and complete. You’re not compelled to your duty by a whip, paycheck, or any other means than your natural instinctual desires to improve the lives of your people and by association yourself, regardless of the difficulty.

Our nation exists only because our forefathers carried out a duty to their people. And the work we do as knights grows the knights’ party in the same manner. Duty isn’t always comfortable. There are difficult decisions, physical pain, and sacrificing property or one’s life. The greater the duty, the greater the justice, and he or she who does the most for their nation or party has the greatest right to guide and determine its future.

Fulfilling one’s duty to the utmost is required of each of us. Who will wait until the demand comes, until it is required? We must be willing to study, work, sacrifice, educate, and be ready to lead. Think of all the greatest men in history, and the calling they had, the duty they undertook. Was their effort for personal gain? Or for their people? Follow your sense of duty.
