RE: We are not alone ...

Agreed 100%. Let's be kinder. It costs nothing. It pays endless dividends. It actually feels good. Our society has been (for political reasons I won't drag into this conversation) far too tolerant of intolerance. It has accepted bullying as a communication method. And that is not getting us anywhere. Each of us has to choose kindness, tolerance, respect, and above all listening. People who are driven to despair often feel completely alone. So yeah — I think by listening and being more caring, kind and respectful, we can save lives.
