Term: ex debito naturali
Definition: Ex debito naturali is a Latin term used in Scots law to describe an obligation that arises from moral duty rather than legal duty. Example: If a person finds a lost wallet on the street, they have a moral obligation to return it to its rightful owner, even though there may not be a legal requirement to do so. This obligation is ex debito naturali, meaning it arises from a natural sense of right and wrong rather than a legal obligation. Explanation: The example illustrates the concept of ex debito naturali by showing that there are certain actions that people feel morally obligated to take, even if there is no legal requirement to do so. This term recognizes that there are some obligations that are based on our innate sense of morality and ethics, rather than on laws and regulations.

Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.
