I have no doubt that for the High Priest, that is true. It's only why I don't think I could be that person.

[it's not that he can't see the discomfort and uncertainty there, but... well, it's different from person to person, isn't it? and he'll admit quite freely that his idealism comes from a place of privilege, of relative peace.]

Oh! Well... certainly, there are problems I cannot solve, yes. I don't have endless funds to help those who need it, for example... but whatever problems I can solve, I want to. [laughing softly, he sets his utensils down for a moment.] I think, perhaps, your confusion is in the difference between hearing a burden and being able to solve it. We're not required to solve any specific problems, and those who speak with us know that. There's always a chance that we'll have to decline assisting in some cases.

We're only human, after all. Sorry that I can't give more clarity, but I'm not sure what more I would say. I most often take confessions or lead mass, and help with things like carrying supplies to the church and around the city. I also write children's books and create gifts for them for the holidays. Ah... and sometimes I help with teaching them to read.

[it really is just kind of... anything, isn't it.]
