If I hold it for a day, you will have to call a . It is the exact same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. What we have to do is to put the glass down, for a while before holding it up again."

"If we carry our burdens ,sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on. The burden will become increasingly heavier. We have to the burden every now and then, so that we can be refreshed and are able to carry on."

So you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you have, let them down for a moment if you can. And learn to ourselves.
