[[Work]] with the [[soil]] is not a curse; rather is it the highest [[blessing]] to all who are thus permitted to [[enjoy]] the most [[human]] of all human [[activities]].

But all of these attempts to help had been misconstrued as unwarranted [[criticism]] and as unjustified [[interference]] with [[personal]] liberties.

They judged their unselfish advisers by their own evolving selfishness.
