Summary

This quote suggests that having a sense of duty is essential for a meaningful and fulfilling life. Duty gives life structure and purpose, allowing it to maintain a cohesive and balanced state.

Without duty, life may lack a solid foundation and can become aimless, lacking structure and the ability to uphold its own integrity.
