The White Man's Burden ____ AKSHR

The White Man's Burden

 

People do not really want freedom,

because freedom involves responsibility

and most people are frightened of responsibility

A good man is simply one who never inflicts pain.

Without a great deal of talent for suffering, 

it is hard to be a saint.

Without great love, 

it is hard to give one's life for another.

Without food, 

it is hard to feed the hungry; 

without shelter, 

it is hard to help the homeless.

Without medicine, 

it is hard to heal the sick; 

without education, 

it is hard to help the ignorant;

without work, 

it is hard to provide for the idle.

        And if you don't accept this view of things 

        too much as your own then 

        we shall welcome you back when you return
