To: everyone (a few days after all arrivals)
[Jon writes in a very fine hand, but to many, it will seem archaic.]
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.

Better to find what makes you happy (so long as harm is not done to others) and pursue it than bow to duty and expectations of family name, rank, or other societal ties.
If you must be bound, then do it and then step away so you can pursue your own true needs.
