Social Obligations

[native]

Perhaps, then, the term obligation best applies to a situation that has been imposed upon the self by another self, or a group of selves, or a societal norm. The self being imposed upon still chooses to act in accordance with that obligation, but does so without a sense of honor/responsibility, but instead feels resistance.

On the other hand, if the same self chooses to accept the requirement/need of the other self or the situation, perhaps then it becomes an honor/duty/responsibility.

You've given a great summary. What you're basically describing sounds to me like the differences between love that gives with expectation and without expectation of return.

We could substitute obligations as having expectations of others, love that is given with conditions. And responsibilities are seen as honor/duties accepted upon the self freely regarding our perceptions of others (disciplines of personality), unconditional love that is given without expectation of return.
