Did you ever feel obligated... Obligated to just burn time and enjoy yourself, even if you never originally intended to? Mainly for the sake of the other person, but maybe deep down inside, you're enjoying yourself, too?
Obligated to help out, solely via some association, completely without rationale... To only realize later, after being engulfed in a swarm of passion and goodness that the association itself is reason and reason good enough to merit anything at all?
Obligated to give and give, especially to the younger generation... That everything you do influences someone, and that someone might be watching... Obligated to show them the brightest future possible, turning your mistakes into words of wisdom...
Or obligated to give back to those who've given you so much day in and day out. Those who give you life and reason to wake up every morning.
Obligated? Bleh. I think I just do what I do.
