There may be a range of correct answers, but there is a far wider range of wrong answers which can only be determined by close attention to the details included in any given riddle.

This is a sublime hope: A great saint like Seraphim could see us, just as we are, wishing we were not as we are, and say “my joy." Was he crazy? Didn’t he realize how bad some people are? How could he be so hope-filled?
