[QUOTE=christopher leigh;104414]So your motto is 'one Mans needs another Mans chains?']
No CL my motto is "love thy neighbour as thyself" which means the same. That's why Rodders is so uncomfortable and inarticulate about the plight of Trimm's mate. Something inside him, pity, sympathy, conscience, whatever you might want to call it makes him want to help and he doesn't like it because it's a feeling you can't shake off; like chains. We humans are bound to each other, "No man is an island entire unto himself.." (Think that's right)
Sometimes there's a Tsunami, drought, civil war, old people dying of hypothermia, child abuse etc etc story on the news and I think, "Not again!" and I can't stand it that I should feel responsible and I turn it off and say I pay into Oxfam already or I pay a fortune in taxes. But the feeling won't go away. So we have to do something and it's never enough. It's a bloody nuisance but that's just the way we are.
Actually my motto is: "I am not number! I am a free man!" Patrick McGoohan circa 1967.
