"Wild asks a question crucial to all non-theological ethics: "why are such principles felt to be binding on me?" How do such universal tendencies of human nature become incorporated into a person's subjective value scale? Because

"the factual needs which underlie the whole procedure are common to man.

The values founded on them are universal. Hence, if I made no mistake in my tendential analysis of human nature, and if I understand myself, I must exemplify the tendency and must feel it subjectively as an imperative urge to action.31"

Also from you article:

"And the eminent English jurist, Sir William Blackstone, summed up the natural law and its relation to human happiness as follows:

This is the foundation of what we call ethics, or natural law … demonstrating that this or that action tends to man's real happiness, and therefore very justly concluding that THE PERFORMANCE OF IT IS A PART OF NATURAL LAW"

That is most certainly stating "PERFORMANCE OF IT"(being this or that action tends to man's real happiness) is a responsibility
