WE sometimes hear it said about someone with a difficulty of any sort, "It is his problem!" Apparently the speaker is unaware that his flippant remark evinces on his part a lack of spiritual understanding and of charity.
His remark points to a failure to appraise the divinely intended brotherhood of the large family of men. For that reason, he is remiss in the application of St. Paul's command (Gal. 6:2), "Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ."
We read in Science and Health by Mrs. Eddy (p. 518):"God gives the lesser idea of Himself for a link to the greater, and in return, the higher always protects the lower. The rich in spirit help the poor in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that man who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good."
