An excerpt of his caption read, "Don’t ask a troubled person to talk to you if you don’t have an intention to help. Don’t call someone home for coffee because you want to feel good about yourself being kind you lend an ear. What he or she needs is much more. When you give hope and do nothing you add to the number of times his hope has died from inside."
