We are obligated to be just (fair and impartial) - just with ourselves, just with those we come into contact with, just in all our dealings.
We are obligated not to be proud - proud as in vain, arrogant, full of only ourselves, self-opinionated, high-handed.
We are obligated to fulfil our lives here on earth - whatever that life may entail. We may have had our dreams, but if those dreams don't match with the reality in which we find ourselves....we still have to live in a way that we are true to the reality we are in now, at this point in time (instead of pining for lost dreams and visions). We cannot abandon ourselves and our life.
We are obligated to be tolerant, kind, forgiving and compassionate with all beings - and if we cannot be so, then we have to walk away and cause as little damage as possible to the person or situation.
We are obligated to treat all beings with respect - for in every being there is the reflection of God.
Naturally there is bound to be a great deal of inner hurt and pain. But we cannot allow ourselves to deviate from the path of our obligations.
