“We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over.”

In which case they're misguided and deserve your compassion. Is that so hard?”
― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations
