Twas British and the tug of war
Perspired to jungle like heat waves
So whimsical the fallen girls
Till the home rafts did save.
Keep putting one love in front of the other
Never say why.
When you are going in the right direction don’t turn right.
When you’re going in the wrong direction just stop completely until you can find a guide.

Others aren’t just a burden because they demand much of us, or don’t do their share. Others are a burden because they are different and other. Humans naturally want to assimilate others to themselves, making others like them. In so doing we use others as objects. The only way of treating others as ends in themselves is to bear the burden of otherness and difference, seeing others first as fellow creatures of God
C Fred Alford. https//godblog.org
If we don’t believe in God we can still believe that other people’s lives are sacred and they are not to be used for our convenience. It’s question of accepting other people’s lives as real as our life is to us and other people are equal value to us. We may feel that we are the centre of the universe but that’s only possible when you are a baby being looked after by very good mother. As the baby grows and develops she is gradually weaned from breastmilk and from her belief that she is the centre of the world being served by her minions. If you didn’t have a very good mother then NZ it is more difficult. May feel at times that you have no value whatsoever that is not true
I wonder if believing in God was important because in the end we are all equal whatever our economics worth are or our inherited titles and and ownership of large properties and estates.
It’s rather puzzling because of them or some of us have the more we want and therefore will never be happy.

Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall
The words predicted death and so it came
The mightiest king is not preserved from falls
Is there wisdom in the deep that calls
True scholarship is hard , to name unnamed
Belshazzar saw the writing on the wall
Even blatant evil, none appals
We have no reverie, we have no time
The mightiest king ‘s no safer with his gold
Counted,weighed,divided, aren’t we all?
The words in Aramaic were no rhyme
Belshazzar saw the grave there on his wall
Once old ladies smiled knit infants shawls
They had joy though death came wandering by
The King of Babylon deserved his fall
Being alive seems near to a great crime
God may die yet love burns its small flame
Belshazzar learned the writing on the wall
