Geoffrey considered for a moment.
"That I cannot say. Unless you were to show them a miracle. Alas, the quest for the great treasures would be of much use there. The Holy Grail for certain is a miraculous object and touched by Christ himself. But...no, I cannot answer you that, young man. When you reach my age, you learn to tolerate the failings of others. It is...easier."

"Perhaps with age I will change." Galahad allowed. "But currently I find my patience worn thin by the behavior of Arthur's other knights."

"Of course. You have a young man's zeal for change in order to better yourself and others. That is well and good but I would caution against allowing your passion for virtue to entirely govern your life. You will always be dissatisfied if you only see faults when you look upon others," Geoffrey advised.

"But if we accept anything less than perfection, it manifests, and before one realizes what is occurring they are surrounded by sin." Galahad replied, confident in what he was saying.

The old priest and librarian smiled and shook his head.
"Frgive me, but I disagree. Mankind cannot be perfect. I trust you recall your scripture. We are born into sin. It is not possible for any man to live the perfect life. We can try, certainly, but that is all. I believe it is better to look to our own faults than worry about the faults of others. Every man is responsible for the salvation of his own soul."

"Perhaps, but is that not a somewhat selfish approach? If others are doing wrong, they will continue to do so unless someone informs them of their fault."

"That is true. We can - and should - reproach others if they break the laws of the land, but in all other matters we may offer guidance, though I do not think it wise to force our guidance upon those who do not wish it. We must allow others to make their own mistakes, Galahad. That is how we learn to become better men," Geoffrey said with a hint of firmness in his tone.

"As you say..." Galahad replied, not entirely convinced.

Geoffrey watched him with a sympathetic expression.
"It will grow easier to accept the failings of others. In time. God does not expect you to worry about others so much. As long as you maintain your own virtue, all will be well."

"Well, perhaps you are right." Galahad conceded. "I'll think about it."

"Thank you. That is all I ask. I would hate to see the most virtuous knight in Camelot turned bitter by the failures of others. They are not your responsibility, Sir Galahad."

"Yes, we'll I suppose I should be going now." Galahad replied. "I must prepare for my coming journey."

Galahad nodded. "I shall. Farewell."
With that he departed.
