This is what I hope. There is no clear right in these situation of course but defaulting to tiptoeing thoughtlessly is not compassionate either. It can be harmful in many ways to all.

Working towards understanding for all takes time and patience and true sensitivity.

Sometimes I feel I am the one people tiptoe around, because rarely do I tiptoe to make a situation easier for myself. I do if I think it can help someone suffering though.

No answers here. Lots of questions as is my way. Thank you for taking the time to read, think and comment. It is appreciated.
