   Such a comfort to those of us who have been abandoned to the savages   
   and the corrupt criminals, and who are de facto stateless.   
      
   But it sounds nice when you tell us how concerned Canada is over the   
   issue of statelesness.

   --   
      Do not confuse "duty" with what other people expect of you; they   
   are utterly different.  Duty is a debt you owe to yourself to fifull   
   obligations you have assumed voluntarily.  Paying that debt can entail   
   anything from years of patient work to instant willingness to die.   
   Difficult it may be, but the reward is self-respect.   
      But there is no reward for doing what other people expect of you,   
   and to do so is not merely difficult, but impossible.  It is easier to   
   deal with a footpad than it is with the leech who wants "just a few   
   minutes of your time, please -- this won't take long."  Time is your   
   total capital, and the minutes of your life are painfully few.  If you   
   allow yourself to fall into the vice of agreeing to such requests,   
   they quickly snowball to the point where these parasites will use up   
   100 percent of your time -- and squawk for more!   
      So learn to say No -- and be rude about it when necessary.   
   Otherwise you will not have time to carry out your dity, or to do your   
   own work, and certainly no time for love and happiness.  The termites   
   will nibble away your life and leave none of it for you.   
      (This rule does not mean you must not do a favor for a friend, or even   
   a stranger.  But let the choice be /yours/.  Don't do it becuause it   
   is "expected" of you.)   
          -- R.A.H. in a brief interlude of nominal lucidity and sanity,   
   but nevertheless evidencing subtle signs of the onset of dementia.
