A favorite saying of the rabbis of Jabneh was, I am God's creature and my peasant neighbor is God's creature.  My work is in the town and his work is in the country.  I rise early for my work and he rises early for his work.  Just as he does not presume to do my work, so I do not presume to do his work.  Will you say, I do much and he does little?  We have learned, One may do much or one may do little; it is all the same, provided he directs his heart to Heaven.                        Judaism.  Talmud
