Whose side are you on?

#40
Auto-translated
In principle, many would agree with the first point of view... But one would start thinking completely differently if they were in the shoes of that poor fellow suffering from the plague.
O God of Earth and Altar,
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
