No, I understand everything... The bitterness of loss and so on. But tell me, if you lost your car keys, would you ask a friend like this: "Could you help me, I have a problem. I lost my car keys, could you lend me yours? If it's not too much trouble for you"? No, my friend. I'm sorry, but not many people here carry spare keys. And not everyone will be willing to share theirs. Why? I hope this example was clear enough.
Bow down and hear our cry,
Our earthly rulers falter,
Our people drift and die,
The walls of gold entomb us,
The swords of scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
Take away our pride.
G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal
