As a living being, by nature, we are being governed by our duties which the natural emphasized. As Christian, it is our duty already to live according to the commandment of our Lord Jesus Christ; (1) Love for God and (2) Love for our neighbour as ourselves. This two emphasizes love as the primary duty of all Christians. Imagine a life without duties. Do you think we can go on living if there is no duty? Duties give order in human life. Through duties that we are able to come up with our rights and later on it will become privilege already for all of us because we are being satisfied and fulfilled our needs.
“Rights exist to insure that we are able to fulfil our duties.” Rights protect duties yet without duties there can be no rights. In other world duties and rights are fundamental need of human life. Duties are always good because it comes from natural law. Duties will always make a person happy. And the rights protect the choice of man to be happy. And to be happy is already a privilege to a person. Although all of us have given a chance to be happy, there are always some that reject happiness, thus rejects also his rights and duties as well.
Duties as I said gives a person a chance to be happy. The only problem along the way is the rights which the person makes or the choice which the person makes. If the rights do not fit with the duties then doing duties would not make us happy anymore. This duty is not anymore a duty but an obligation which a person is being forced to do a certain act. Like for example, I was chosen to be a leader of a group and by nature of being a leader I must take the lead in the group. The fact that a person was chosen is because he has the potential to be a leader. In contrary, being chosen as a leader was a force and not voluntarily made makes his duty as a leader as an obligation already. I don’t want to be leader but because I was chosen, I am obliged to do what should be done. It is not anymore the duty that govern the leader but the obligation itself. But as a matter of fact, we can also gain privilege out of our obligation. For there are times that I am forced to do this job and as I finished doing it, although along the way I felt bad, I felt happy and for me happiness is already a privilege for a person.
To experience happiness is a sign that we are able to fulfil our duties. And the fulfilment of our duties gives us a privilege to be happy. At this moment, as I am nearly finishing my paper, I can feel happiness already because my duty as a student of making a reflection paper is coming to an end. And at the end I know I will gain privileges because it was already finish. I can have a good rest, I will not anymore think about my paper in Political Philosophy, and I can start already making paper in Contemporary Philosophy. And I know that the same thing will again happen when I finished making my paper in Contemporary Philosophy. To be able to accommodate my duty is to be able to gain my privileges.
