There are some people that will not pick up a phone and call you, but if you knock on a door and talk to them, they'll talk back to you.

My fear represented the failure of the human system. It is a sad truth of our creation: Something is amiss in our design, there are loose ends of our psychology that are simply not wrapped up.
