When someone does, it confirms our shared humanity, which far too many people are not feeling right now. It shows us that we are worthy of assistance. It also shows us the power of accepting assistance when offered because when someone offers to help us, we can connect with that person in that shared humanity.<\/p>\n<p>We all need more shared humanity. We all need more connection.<\/p>\n<p>Also, what were those words that she said to Brian?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I know you. You&#8217;ve been helping people all your life.
