You made it to my quotes file, which is a somewhat high bar even if it doesn't help for anything ;-)

> We often notice how "easy"/quick it is to hurt somebody by saying something even light-hearted,

I've been very aware of this for the last ten years after realizing that despite my good intentions I could sometimes hurt others.

> but when it comes to that extreme you'd be surprised how very few words about mundane things can prevent a collapse (at least that time).

I think this will be important to keep in mind too going forward.

Thanks!
