"We should care for our children" until when? In spite of what?
Until they are adult - in spite of anything, as human beings.

If a person can no longer cope with their child then what do we do? Take the child out back and have them shot? No - of course not. As human beings we offer some other care. Of course sometimes we offer anything but care - that's not something most people like to think about. We should take care of our children.

"We should treat others with human dignity" what's "dignity"?
To refrain from humiliation, to refrain from cruelty, to refrain from torture, to refrain from starvation - It needs more clarity than that but is well laid out in The Declaration of Human Rights.

"We should do as we agreed to do" unless we find out something in the interim.
Very true!! But taking the paycheck anyway ain't exactly honourable. Taking the respect of position without upholding the responsibility, enjoying the trust without offering the committment - I stand by what I was trying to say too briefly - that we should give weight and act on our own words.
