a few thoughts....perhaps random, perhaps not.

de·on·tol·o·gy

noun /ˌdēänˈtäləjē/  The study of the nature of duty and obligation

To me is all, I to myself am lost,

Who the immortals' fav'rite erst was thought;

They, tempting, sent Pandoras to my cost,

So rich in wealth, with danger far more fraught;

They urged me to those lips, with rapture crown'd,

Deserted me, and hurl'd me to the ground.

— Goethe, Marienbad Elegy, the last stanza, translated by Edgar Alfred Bowring
