ISSUE FOUR – DUTY
Exploring just what is being done out of duty nowadays that isn’t being talked about, simply because its being done quietly, without fanfare or thought for gain? Is it our duty as humans to treat each other’s spirit and wellbeing as important as the need for food and shelter? Do we see duty as a cultural responsibility or a moral obligation? What is our individual and collective focus on duty, in the humble sense – without self-congratulation and boasting?
