“Modern man is weighed down more by the burden of responsibility than by the burden of sin.”

Eric Hoffer (1898–1983) American philosopher

Section 84

Context: Modern man is weighed down more by the burden of responsibility than by the burden of sin. We think him more a savior who shoulders our responsibilities than him who shoulders our sins. If instead of making decisions we have but to obey and do our duty, we feel it as a sort of salvation.
