The place of Duty.

"To the right person, the person who is truly born to it, duty is a form of love, through which all is possible. Duty is not always a denial of things, but an expansion of them to others. Duty is not always a chore, but is best carried out with love." - quoted from Temple of the Winds, by Terry Goodkind.

These are words to live by for me, such that I never slip into the attitude that my responsibilities supersede my Lord's call to love, to place others' interests before self. Duty is hollow without genuine, sincere love.

Addendum: [The above quote in Mandarin] 责任是爱的一种形式。在有责任感的人的手里，它会展现爱的伟大，能克服任何困难。责任并不总是贬低自己，而是通过自己的行为和思想扩大其他人的方位。责任并不总是苦差事，但最好是带着爱心而进行。
