What do we carry?

If you are strong, I believe you have an obligation to help those of us who are weaker than you. if you have the strength of body, mind or of character, you have an obligation to help those who are not as strong as you are. The strong carry the weak, in my world, they do not bully coerce or take advantage of them.

If you are rich, remember that our society helped you get or stay rich. Our education system provided you with the opportunities to learn or the opportunity to tap in and learn from people that were/are smatter than you. Our taxes helped build the infrastructure that your business uses to get goods to market, our system of laws helps protect your wealth. So, in my world, the rich carry the poor. If you are healthy and happy, and you know people who are sick and sad, you have a responsibility to help them. Sick and sad people may not be able to look out for themselves. So, in my world, the sick, carry the sick, and the happy carry the sad. 

Why do or should we help, because at some point in our life, we were weak, sick, sad or poor and we were helped by others? Whether or not we remember, this was once our promise, to thank those who had carried us.
