"To say of someone that she has a duty to herself, or that she owes it to herself
to do this or that, isn't likely to raise the eyebrow of the proverbial person on
the street. These forms of words often find their way into everyday talk without bringing
the proceedings to a pause for clarification. With these phrases, we frequently urge
others to take care of themselves, or reassure ourselves about the propriety of "looking
out for number one." Popular R&B and dance songs have titles like "Owe It to Yourself"
and "I Owe it to Myself." The bookstore's self-help shelves display volumes such as
You Owe It to Yourself: Effective Keys to a Happier Marriage and You Owe It to Yourself:
Divorce and Relationships. A recent TED Talk tells us: "You owe it to yourself to
experience a total solar eclipse." Columnists recommend to advice-seekers not simply
that they discharge their duties to others, but that they also mind their duties to
themselves. The language of self-directed duty, it seems, is not just familiar, but
pervasive"
