Notes

"Another kind of tragedy with which we are more familiar now than ever historically is that of the individual who evades his or her calling, mission, or task. Because they avoid assuming power to do the job well, such persons necessarily develop Being-guilt and loss of self-respect. Certainly, the very fine person cannot evade his or her duties and tasks. Rather, the only way of acceptingly doing so is to find someone equally competent to do the job".[2]
