Now imagine you're sitting on a park bench. A fellow walks by and an envelope falls out of his pocket. I can't believe it. Bodies do not like obligations, because they require effort. The body would rather be on vacation.
Souls thrive on obligations.
It gives a sense of importance, dignity, eternity. Figure out what's really important in life. And then you'll identify with the soul's love of fulfilling obligations. And that energizes us for living. If a human being doesn't think he's good, he loses much of the will to live.
