Is that what I said? Or are you mixing me up with someone else?



I think part of what I am trying to say is that help comes in the form of understanding people, why they do what they do, and above all listening with sympathy and comprehension, knowing that we are all in this together, that we are not some weird incomprehensible fraction of humanity, totally unrelated to the rest of society.
