To Have One's Cake and Eat It Too

Passover Matso the bread of servitude -- the slave's bread the bread of liberation -- the freed man's bread Which is it? ~ We choose and have been chosen to have it both ways Do not oppress the stranger. Remember that you were strangers in the Land of Egypt... ...For you left in haste and did not have time to let the leaven rise as you went forth from the Land of Egypt

Deep and pensive walk through the past; the teachings of old that are still very valid today.

An extension, in many senses, of the adage: Do not do unto others what you would not have them do to unto you. Blessings, gw
