I would like to speak on duty, if you will.

What does duty mean to you, if it means anything at all?
How do you know what your duty is?
How do you know when you have done it, or failed to do it?

If it doesn't matter to you, why doesn't it matter?
If it does, why then?

I seek to learn from my fellows.

Duty is doing what is right. Even when it hurts and feels wrong. And finishing what you start.

I don't really know how to know what my duty is, it always felt like protecting those that need help. Failure just means someone's died, and it's my fault. That's how I see it.

At least that's what I feel.

I don't know if that's the right answer.
