  • I have held people dying, full of fear all the way to their last death rattling breath, with nothing I could say to soothe them and with no one else in the world that cared to see them go.

    I have been tear gassed because I cared too much in a way that interfered with traffic around a big building.

    I have volunteered to feed and talk to people that cried because I was the first person in weeks that would make eye contact with them and treat them like a human being.

    I’ve been called plenty of names and had lots of weird hatred sent my way because I seemed like a “scold” or “too preachy” on the internet, like I was too soft and sensitive and lacked Grown-Ass Man™ hardening.

    I believe otherwise. I think too many people live in soft and highly volatile bubbles and have urges to lash out at even the semblance of caring so they don’t feel uncomfortable seeing compassion in other people.
