this side, on this side

carry out a useless work

(and) on top of it/that

the devil finds work for the idle hands to do

pay no heed, ignore, turn a deaf ear to, pay no attention to, disregard, in one ear out of the other

as you sow, so shall you reap, it should be a transparent transaction, in cash

despite this

in addition to this, moreover

nothing changed, both are identical, both are similar, both are alike, similar in habits and traits and character etc.

be stricken by a lance, be stricken with grief

beside this
