Duty: completed!
Nov. 2nd, 2016 08:54 pmHooray, I have finished another card. This is #13 of 27, so I am very nearly halfway done. With the Ikons. I'm not even thinking about Virtues, argh.
Duty is the Ikon of service to something outside ourselves, whether it be a person, idea, code, country, family, or organization. Sometimes the call comes from outside, but the obligation can also come unasked from within ourselves. All incarnations of Duty involve some level of sacrifice, even if only through a limitation of choices; but not all service is repaid and not all Duty is just.
