Hi Leonardo,

I think you are on the right track here:

Perhaps we are all standing in line, as it were, for such a job as 
the one HPB got. When the job becomes available, the next person in 
line who qualifies gets a chance to try. What level of development 
one has to attain in order to be ready to try the job is pretty hard 
for us to determine, since apparently we haven't reached that level 
yet. In fact, while we are standing in line, waiting for our chance 
to try the job, we are preparing ourselves in every way we can to 
gather the qualifications that will make us successful. We are surely 
in poor condition to judge the one who had the job recently, our view 
obscured by the mists of time and our lack of ability to understand 
what exactly really happened, what she really did. We can be sure, 
however, that when it is our turn to have a try at the job, we hope 
that our younger brothers and sisters will be supportive of us, 
since, as we know, a lot depends upon the job being done well.

Best wishes,
Adelasie
