Walter’s choice of profession was probably motivated by hunger; his job as a minister would provide money for food. His job would also alleviate loneliness. It was likewise motivated by pride because he thought his belief system was right and moral. He may have been motivated by anger at the world’s immorality; pity for those who would not be “saved”; and fear of displeasing his God.
