I don't get it? What am I missing?
"bearing a cross" is a phrase meant to refer to persisting through hardship by comparing your struggles to Jesus being made to carry the cross for his crucifixion. (Jesus had to carry his own cross to be crucified from the place of the trial to the place of execution.) However, this person installed wheels onto the cross to make it easier to carry. This defeating the purpose of the metaphor. Jesus certainly did not have wheels on his cross.
I think dragging the cross is a metaphor because it's heavy but this fellas got the wheels
