			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Liberty is often a heavy burden on a man. It involves that necessity for perpetual choice which is the kind of labor men have always dreaded. In common life we shirk it by forming habits, which take the place of self-determination. In politics party-organization saves us the pains of much thinking before deciding how to cast our vote. In religious matters there are great multitudes watching us perpetually, each propagandist ready with his bundle of finalities, which having accepted we may be at peace. The more absolute the submission demanded, the stronger the temptation becomes to those who have been long tossed among doubts and conflicts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>His wealth: <i>He was very rich,</i> v. 2. He was very <i>heavy,</i> so the Hebrew word signifies; for <i>riches are a burden,</i> and those that <i>will be rich do but load themselves with thick clay,</i> Hab. ii. 6. There is a burden of care in getting them, fear in keeping them, temptation in using them, guilt in abusing them, sorrow in losing them, and a burden of account, at last, to be given up concerning them. Great possessions do but make men heavy and unwieldy.</p>
<br><b>Matthew Henry</b> (1662–1714) English writer, religious philosopher<br><i>Exposition of the Old and New Testament</i>, Genesis 13:2 (1706)

Orestes going to kill his mother, Clytemnestra, who was, along with the already-killed Aegisthus, the murderer of his father, Agamemnon.<br><br>

Interestingly, earlier translations have him characterize the task as both bitter and sweet; later ones only speak of its bitterness.<br><br>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The rich are like beasts of burden, carrying treasure all day, and at the night of death unladen; they carry to their grave only the bruises and marks of their toil.</p>

														<br><br><span class="cite">
						

I could not find something similar to this in searches of Augustine's writings. The usual earliest citation for this wording is Josiah Hotchkiss Gilbert, ed., <i><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/Dictionary_of_Burning_Words_of_Brilliant/afENAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=augustine+%22marks+of+their+toil%22&pg=PA523&printsec=frontcover">Dictionary of Burning Words of Brilliant Writers</a></i> (1895).  But it previously shows up in Edward Payson Tenney, <i><a href="https://www.google.com/books/edition/The_Silent_House/JeUTAAAAYAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=augustine+%22beasts+of+burden%22+%22marks+of+their+toil%22&pg=PA82&printsec=frontcover">Jubilee Essays: A Plea for the Unselfish Life</a></i>, "The Retributions" (1862), though again with no original citation.<br><br>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>He called to mind all the millionaires he had ever read or heard of; they didn&#8217;t seem to get much fun out of their riches. The majority of them were martyrs to dyspepsia. They were often weighed down by the cares and responsibilities of their position; the only people who were unable to obtain an audience of them at any time were their friends; they lived in a glare of publicity, and every post brought them hundreds of begging letters, and a few threats; their children were in constant danger from kidnappers, and they themselves, after knowing no rest in life, could not be certain that even their tombs would be undisturbed. Whether they were extravagant or thrifty, they were equally maligned, and, whatever the fortune they left behind them, they could be absolutely certain that, in a couple of generations, it would be entirely dissipated.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After all, the saddest thing that can happen to a man is to carry no burden. To be bent under too great a load is bad; to be crushed by it is lamentable, but even in that there are possibilities that are glorious. But to carry no load at all &#8212; there is nothing in that. No one seems to arrive at any goal really worth reaching in this world who does not come to it heavy laden.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What stuck in the minds of these men who had become murderers was simply the notion of being involved in something historic, grandiose, unique (&#8220;a great task that occurs once in two thousand years&#8221;), which must therefore be difficult to bear. This was important, because the murderers were not sadists or killers by nature; on the contrary, a systematic effort was made to weed out all those who derived physical pleasure from what they did. The troops of the <em>Einsatzgruppen </em>had been drafted from the Armed S.S., a military unit with hardly more crimes in its record than any ordinary unit of the German Army, and their commanders had been chosen by Heydrich from the S.S. élite with academic degrees. Hence the problem was how to overcome not so much their conscience as the animal pity by which all normal men are affected in the presence of physical suffering. The trick used by Himmler &#8212; who apparently was rather strongly afflicted by these instinctive reactions himself &#8212; was very simple and probably very effective; it consisted in turning these instincts around, as it were, in directing them toward the self. So that instead of saying: <em>What horrible things I did to people!</em>, the murderers would be able to say: <em>What horrible things I had to watch in the pursuance of my duties, how heavily the task weighed upon my shoulders!</em></p>

<blockquote>But now God has so arranged things that we may learn to bear each other's burdens, for no one is without faults, no one is without burdens, no one is wholly self-sufficient, no one has enough wisdom all by himself. That being the case, we must support and comfort each other; together we must help, teach, and advise one another.<br>
