I mean if I felt that a person

was a poor/sad/misguided/pathetic/ignorant/bitter/and warped soul, I think think it to be a moral duty to help the person. It doesn't take much to listen to someone and to buy them a cup of coffee and sit with them a while. My parish priest in Australia wrote the other day for example: "2 days later I found an old man sitting on my doorstep. He too was tired and hungry. He was also ill and could only talk in a whisper. I offered to take him around to the shop to buy some food. He walked very slowly and half way there he had to sit down and rest. He was very thin with a long tangled beard and he carried a crust of bread in his pocket and a ragged bundle on his back. I asked him to collect what he needed and I paid the bill."
Whom is to be pitied - the author of the "poor/sad/misguided/pathetic/ignorant/bitter/and warped soul"? Or the addressee? One really should not belittle the sentiments expressed in the line by attempting some sort of sarcasm with them because there are people whose reality is those tragic circumstances. Spare a though for them if one is not in need oneself.
On the other hand, and I mean this seriously and not as a cheap put down, one should call Lifeline or some other such agency if one needs help. Bullying, intimidating in words or deeds and being anonymous are problems of the modern age which need to be treated. One maybe needs to talk about it. The first act of a brave person is to acknowledge one needs help.
