Be kind to each other out there, my lovelies. I saw some scary shit tonight, but I also saw a community come together to try to protect a victim, so....
Humanity has terrible and beautiful. Try to be the beautiful.
@greermahoney Can I settle for not horrible and not scaring children when I go outside? Pretty much try to live by "do no harm" and "no blood, no foul". I am humble about my limitations.
@greermahoney I do tend to jump in if I think my help won't escalate the situation. Sometimes a well meaning bystander can drive a situation all to hell worse than not getting involved.
@Samizdata Agreed! This was the right amount of help, thankfully.
@greermahoney Well, that is SUPERgreen! (Sorry, as long as you use that avvie...)
@Samizdata You never have to apologize for a Fifth Element reference.
@Samizdata Yeah, but tonight I'm all about the people who helped. They all could have walked by, but they helped someone in need, at some risk to themselves. Doing no harm is certainly better than harming, tho. So you do you.
