RKO2004, you're being dense man. All of your definitions of obligations are CHOICES.Do you know what obligation is? Not in your own definition but the one that is already in existence.What is an obligation that exists innately in and of itself?
name one thing that is not a choice but an obligation.
To have a living entity, cellular respiration is an obligation. Is living an obligation? The universe says no.
1.something by which a person is bound or obliged to do certain things, and which arises out of a sense of duty or results from custom, law, etc.
2.something that is done or is to be done for such reasons: to fulfill one's obligations.
3.a binding promise, contract, sense of duty, etc.
4.the act of binding or obliging oneself by a promise, contract, etc.
5.Law .
a.
an agreement enforceable by law, originally applied to promises under seal.
b.
a document containing such an agreement.
c.
a bond containing a penalty, with a condition annexed for payment of money, performance of covenants, etc.
It its a mothers duty and to care for her child. She has the choice to do so or not but she has a obligation to take proper care of her child.
Too damn smart for his own good. He's grown from smart to smug an arrogant.Its funny because "obligation" has existed for thousands of years until Putty decided a couple hours ago that it doesnt exist anymore
Its to a point where I seriously wonder what he inner circle is like. If he has a girl/wife, does she see this side of him
Would she be like him? Do they argue extensively about toppings on their pizza? Does she also have folders, a briefcase, phone, tablet, pc and laptop on standby to research and prove why regular bacon is batter than Canadian bacon?
Its all in good fun Putty/MD. So I would hope you take none of it personal.
There is no such thing as being completely and totally obliged to something.
Even when you sign a contract you AGREE to the terms.
Even after agreeing you have the choice of not fulfilling the contract.
However, the only thing that keeps people from reneging on their agreements is the threat of a consequence that society at large will impose on you.
Yet, and still, you are free to make the choice to not fulfill that contract.
This is about choices.
Obligations exist only in the subjective definitions society has molded them to be.
In some places its an obligation to get married by stealing your bride http://www.vice.com/vice-news/bride-kidnapping-in-kyrgyzstan-part-1
In other places its an obligation to have young men perform fellatio older men and ingest their semen http://www.kinseyinstitute.org/ccies/pg.php
Obligations don't exist. There are merely choices made to engage in different behaviors.
