Jesus said, "Damn the Pharisees! They are like a dog sleeping in the cattle manger: the dog neither eats nor [lets] the cattle eat." (102 Thomas)

Sometimes we really need to get out of the way.

Why are we taking a position? What is the value?

Too often our concerns are non-productive, both for others and ourselves.

The dog has claimed turf where he does not belong. It is not a good place for him and it hurts others.

We are to be as passers-by, helping not hindering.
