Summary

This quote suggests that while we have a set of rights that protect our individual freedoms and entitlements, it is equally important to acknowledge our responsibilities as members of a society. It implies that the focus on individual rights should be balanced with a collective understanding of the obligations and duties we owe to others and our community. Just as a Bill of Rights guarantees what we are entitled to, a hypothetical Bill of Responsibilities would highlight what we should contribute and how we can actively participate in maintaining a functioning and inclusive society.

The old general rule was that educated people did not perform manual labor. They managed to eat their bread, leaving the toil of producing it to the uneducated. This was not an insupportable evil to the working bees, so long as the class of drones remained very small. But now, especially in these free States, nearly all are educated--quite too nearly all, to leave the labor of the uneducated, in any wise adequate to the support of the whole. It follows from this that henceforth educated people must labor. Otherwise, education itself would become a positive and intolerable evil. No country can sustain, in idleness, more than a small percentage of its numbers. The great majority must labor at something productive.

We have often been attracted to the story of the other, the outcast. And he and I just loved working together, so it just kept happening, and our relationship is completely bound up with our work. We enjoy each other's art.
