Semi agree, and I would call them duties.

Problem is that culture has stopped incentivizing performing your duty. It actually rewards and praises those who shirk them and reject tradition.

There is a place for those who succeed to be looked to as a goal, motivator, or an example. And many our our elites now are very poor examples

True facts

People reject inherent meaning. Any suggestion of telos (teleology) is scoffed at. And yet people wonder why they feel so unmoored.
