Abstract
A short article written in a paradoxical and humorous way which prompts a pastoral reflection. The article points out that specialized settings have areas for pastoral care that may well take a creative approach. Ways to establish pastoral relationships are listed in a paradoxical way. Also highlighted is the extreme “neediness” of people to engage in conversations.
