In Matthew's gospel, Peter suggests that Jesus not go to Jerusalem and die, which seems awful sensible. He is, however, rebuked with the line, "Get behind me, Satan." Jesus seems to feel he must go.
Whenever Mom offers to use the lift to help me to the toilet, I am tempted to respond with a similar rebuke.
It is easier and safer to use the lift. I know this.
I also know that manually transferring to the toilet is one of the few times my legs get exercise these days.
