Reply #7: Caring hurts, doesn't it? [View All]

[porphyrian]

One of my theories as to why conservatives are generally such callous assholes is that they either lack the capacity to care about others or have hardened themselves because they can't deal with the pain of it.

It is not your responsibility to save anyone but yourself. That said, it is sometimes easier to try to save others than it is to save yourself. It is also important to recognize that some people will never be saved, no matter how close you think you are to doing it.

I don't have all the answers, but I've found that the best way to help others in general is to be open about your problems, what you do to solve them and show what works and what doesn't by fixing yourself.
