"The notion of duty, which we talk a lot about in the military realm or public service, or say in my Buddhist upbringing...it's a very un-American word from the point of view of 'we Americans cherish our freedom or independence.' The way we generally think of it in America or write about it is: my freedom is separate from yours. So it's a sort of independent freedom, not interdependent, not co-dependent, not cooperative. It's all about 'me' and 'my freedom.' That's an interesting notion when you think about the notion of duty. It would seem to be a contradiction.
So, what is our duty as human beings?
I introduced this as the one daily reminder that if you do it every day, it'll transform your entire life. I don't think that's an exaggeration. In the Buddhist teachings, they talk about vision or view, or Christians may think of it as mission.
What is our mission in life?" ~ Waylon Lewis
