@Minholkin offered some wise words earlier today, about grace with people in hard moments.
As a writer, I know how easy it is to think that we need to Use Our Words when someone says something that upsets us.
In these awful times, I see people saying *many* false and hurtful things.
But their statements have another linguistic purpose: not to inform, but to establish who's "safe" and who's not.
We can answer that bid in other ways. Arguing with people in pain is almost never the right one. 🕊️
That's more skin-to-skin contact than I'm comfortable with myself, so you're a braver human than I am, MrGoat!
