A lot of folks today seem to feel they ‘deserve’ Womb-to-Tomb security, just by reason of their existence. And some seem to want it from Erection-to-Resurrection. Alas, the world does not work that way. Generally speaking, if one wishes for potatoes, one needs to reach for a hoe.
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins/When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,/As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,/The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!

And from us religion folks, a quote: “Those who WILL not work, SHOULD not eat”. (Look it up – it’s legit!)

From Kipling’s Gods of the Copybook Headings:
And that after this is accomplished, and the brave new world begins/When all men are paid for existing and no man must pay for his sins,/As surely as Water will wet us, as surely as Fire will burn,/The Gods of the Copybook Headings with terror and slaughter return!
