Shavkat @Shavkat (141905) • Philippines 7 Dec 23

In my country, some locals do give tips when eating in a restaurant. I used to do this, but I dropped the idea of giving some tips to waiters and waitresses. It made me like this when I worked in a Chinese fast food restaurant...

It’s Not Fun

[eds] @ZedSmart (19839) • Philippines 1 Oct 19

Yes, paying debt is not fun but it’s an obligation to fulfill. When fund is low and we have plenty of needs to meet, there is always a place we can turn to. And if we have the means to repay, there are institutions that would...

[eds] @ZedSmart (19839) • Philippines 18 Sep 19

An obligation is an obligation and it should be fulfilled until both parties agreed to terminate such. I have this feeling right now that this person who has an obligation to me has forgotten or deliberately forgotten it....

MyLot: Have any of your discussions gone unanswered?

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 10 Feb 19

It doesn't matter if it's a long or short discussion... Everyone who separates a little from their own time to post them here should be recognized for this. I don't mean to comment out of obligation (which would be not good),...

Respect the elders!

Wise Ghost @WiseGhots (14603) 1 Jan 19

I have to say that I'm impressed - in a very bad way, of course - by the number of young people who often do not respect their elders (not only here in my country, but outside it as well). More than an obligation, this is...

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 15 Nov 17

Do you like to eat vegetables? When it comes to vegetables... Do you like to eat them because you really enjoy them or just eat them out of obligation (you know... because it's healthful and bla, bla, bla... )?

Do you really like to eat salad?

The Invisible Man @TheInvisibleMan (17594) 27 Apr 17

I mean, do you eat salad because you find it really tasty? Or because you want to balance your food (as if it were a kind of "obligation" or something? ) For me, it's 50% to 50% (depending on the type of salad).

your cousin is always eating in the house. I am not saying that I don't want him to eat every meal in the house. The mere fact, he tried to bum off us on a daily basis. It wasn't supposed to be. He graduated from a university. I...

Shavkat @Shavkat (141905) • Philippines 15 Jan 16

In our daily lives, we tend to be a responsible person. Every action is what makes the real persona of the individuals. On the other hand, some people don’t have the sense of being responsible over something. Why? It is simply...

Do you think it is the obligation of the child to finance the parents someday?

Metatronik @Metatronik (6198) • Pasay, Philippines 11 Dec 15

I believe we all must have the sense of gratitude towards our parents because of the responsibilities that they have done for us. But it doesn't mean that it is also our obligation to take responsibility or make us investment just...
