You have heard that it is said, "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime." But I tell you, give a man a fish so that he can concentrate while you teach him how, and then be his friend; for what good is food to satisfy the stomach if the soul starves.
And when we are without food and friend:
"Christ's cross does not always protect us from our own crosses."
-The New Interpreter's Bible Commentary on 1 Peter 2:18-3:7, Reflection 5
