Reassessing "Duty"

There's a lot of crazy things going on in the world right now, and lots of it, globally, nationally, locally, personally... it has me thinking about what my job is now.

I'm a cook, a father, and a house-husband, but I'm also a citizen, a neighbor, and part of a community. Whether i enjoy those things or not is moot. I am in these situations by consequence of my own actions and inactions. Now I have a commitment to honor those in my way, and i need to figure out what that means. All of this in the context of another potential shift in lifestyle with a looming third global war (thanks for the warmup Covid).

So what is the best course of action? Talk to neighbors? Participate in local government? Jon a political party? Protest with the kids? Enlist? Volunteer? Object? It's a crazy time to be alive, but whatever happens, don't forget where you came from and how you got where you are.
