Q: Can you comment on that, feeling like you should do more and more to help people and reaching the [[limits]] of what you can do, and then [[feeling]] [[guilty]] about that.

Ham: You should not feel guilty that you have [[limits]], You are a [[human being]], only, made of the same stuff and largely the same [[abilities]] as those whom you wish to help. You are a naturally [[sympathetic]] person, and you are drawn to play [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florence_Nightingale Florence Nightingale]. But, you must learn to [[accept]] yourself, who you are, where you are in [[life]], and also to [[accept]] those who tug at your skirts, who they are and where they are. You can [[pray]] for them, and give them [[spiritual]] [[comfort]], but you cannot [[change]] their circumstances. That they will have to do. Is this helping you [[understand]]?

Q: I think that is good [[advice]], and I know I need to learn to not take [[responsibility]], not [[visiting]] everyone in the [[neighborhood]]. I take responsibility for too much, and I know that. If I do something nice, I want a brass band. Some banging of gongs, like she went and visited an old lady. I want the [[recognition]] too.
