Prompt #18

It is better to do your own duty 

badly, then to perfectly do 

another's; you are safe from harm 

when you do what you should be doing. 

I believe that each person is destined to do what they must. Each soul is responsible for doing what they feel the need to do in order to unveil what they feel is needed. In order to achieve greatness, in what ever sense that may mean to the individual, one must do their own duty. The out come of the action is not important, because only the intention of the deed, the process of the deed and the personal accomplishment of the deed is relevant to the actual greatness achieved. As the Gita says, it is better to do your own duty badly, and to do another's with no flaws. The process of following the rules or your own morals is forever more powerful than doing another being's, even if your actions are an outcome of poor results.
