Btw: this is my quote for parham (you don't need to read, I just didn't feel like signing you out and signing myself back in）
The complications dealing with desires vs responsibility is that people have the internal yearning to be accepted by others but trying too hard to go by the social codes of family to the nation, personal happiness is sacraficed on both ends of the equation.

What is the Difference Between Responsibility and Obligation?
Responsibility and obligation are two words that can mean the same thing as well as implying different meanings. If that doesn't make sense, let me explain:
Responsibility can be comprehended to different extents. For example, it is a kid's responsibility to take out the trash. It is a parent's responsibility to take care of their kids. It is a teacher's responsibility to teach their students. It is a president's responsibility to run their country as well as they can. A responsibility is essentially something you have or do that is socially expected. In other words, responsibility is basically when you are solely in charge of any item and you and only you are answerable to anything that happens to it. If you have a job, essentially, your responsibilities are the connotations, or expectations, of what someone in your position would do.
Now an obligation is in a sense a collateral of a responsibility. For example, if you ask your neighbor to look after your dog, and they do, and they then ask you to look over their dog, it is your obligation to say yes and take care of their dog. Obligations are also more of a privately social concept: they are, like responsibilities but less defined, sort of like unwritten rules that, if broken or disobeyed, can cause people to distrust you or become angry at you. What it really condenses to is that obligations are sacred and not meant to be taken lightly. If someone is irresponsible, people look at them like they're annoying or kind of just avoid them. If someone breaks an obligation, they are viewed as untrustworthy and sometimes even scummy. This is because obligations are really more of moral values.
So, in the end, it really comes down to one little definition: Responsibility is a duty; obligation is a human trait.
