I would never request another shoulder any burden I might carry but I would ask that they not compound them.
In a sense, I can't fathom why. It is incomprehensible.

Agreed. Ironic in the sense that one of the fundamental tenets of Mormonism is that 'the worth of souls is great...' ; yet as members we (and I am all too often guilty) fail to collectively bear the burdens of others and make a genuine effort to assist in bringing souls to salvation. I sometimes fear that, as a people, we turn inward out of selfishness and comfort.
