Your link took me to this definition: '"Not my cross to bear" means that
something unpleasant or burdensome is not your responsibility or
something you need to deal with, and therefore, you are not obligated to
accept it.' I don't have anything to add to it.
Well, that nails it exactly, George, thanks.
