Why is the role of Receiver more important in the community than sharing the burden of carrying

painful memories?

• The people in the community become too tired to work when they receive difficult memories.

• The Receiver has magical powers so only he can handle the

  memories from which the rules are made.

• The community tried to share the painful memories a few years earlier but too many people complained, so the Elders decided to have only one person hold onto the past.

• The Elders believe the people are not qualified to handle pain and suffering so it's important to have a Receiver hold the memories instead.
