I think it’s really admirable you wanted to help him! Empathy is such an important trait to have, and it’s really cool you wanted to even post this :)
algorithms and modern society have conditioned us to live in fear of each other because of horror stories we’ve seen or heard- and when we see people suffering, it’s easier to turn the other...... 1 reply
