CROSS - CRUZ
"life is a cross", it's said, but not everyone carries it.

there is a lot of cheating, for example, pretending not to see or have it, nailing it on the back of an unwary innocent, setting it on the high altar or at the church facade.
"a vida é uma cruz", diz-se, mas nem todos a carregam.

há para aí muita batota, por exemplo, fingindo não a ver ou ter, pregando-a nas costas dum incauto inocente, fixando-a no altar-mór ou na fachada da igreja.

I like the image of "pretending not to see or have it"... A person might hide their own suffering, or not want to see the suffering of others, afraid to be overwhelmed...
