If you hear somebody crying, do something. Something non-electronic.

I read this story by Bethany Mandel about that entire sad (in many senses of the term) episode where somebody live-tweeted somebody else’s long distance breakup, and I think that we should take away from it is… a question.  You see somebody in obvious and intense emotional distress. You can either: help that person ease that distress; or record that person’s distress for other people’s perusal. Which is more important to you?

I swear to God, I think that I’ve written about this before. Not this specific story, but something close to it.  …I think.

One thought on “If you hear somebody crying, do something. Something non-electronic.”

  1. 1 Corinthians 13:11King James Version (KJV)

    11 “When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

    I am sure you have posted on it before Moe, either way, you are right on.
