I know he made everyone angry with him. And - they didn't know him, so they didn't know he didn't mean the things he was saying.

[He's not blaming anyone for being angry with him.]

But I'd hoped to convince him not to do that.

You were getting there.

[ Her smile is somber. ]

It is something that needed more than a few hours.

Maybe.

[She's probably right. He's not beating himself up, exactly. He just wishes. . .]

It's only that - when he started talking about our group, I felt so sad.

[discernments]

You wanted him to feel as if he wasn't alone, that he was with all of us.

[ Is that it?

She's trying to encourage him to put his feelings into more words. ]

[Nodding. It's not always easy for him to put his feelings into words, but it's good to try.]

He felt like we were all together and he was all alone. I don't think that's true, but I wanted to help anyway.

[discernments]

I will not say we will all get along all the time. We are all too different for that, but we have all been brought here together.

It is not wrong for you to have tried. It is not wrong for you to want to help.
