@BeAware @nightclaw @reiver No, but you *can* mame an effort to be kind to people with an emotional need, and actively look for things that *can* be changed (and there usually *are*). As opposed to reacting harshly in a "It's a fact, deal with it" way. The latter will not change anyone's view, it'll just escalate things; The former opens a door to negotiations (and explanations), because the recipients feel taken *seriously*.
