[

Syn : {
Burden }, {
Load }.
Usage :
A burden is ,
in the literal sense ,
a weight to be borne ;
a load is something laid upon us to be carried .
Hence ,
when used figuratively ,
there is usually a difference between the two words .
Our burdens may be of such a nature that we feel bound to bear them cheerfully or without complaint .
They may arise from the nature of our situation ;
they may be allotments of Providence ;
they may be the consequences of our errors .
What is upon us ,
as a load ,
we commonly carry with greater reluctance or sense of oppression .
Men often find the charge of their own families to be a burden ;
but if to this be added a load of care for others ,
the pressure is usually serve and irksome .
