On Measurement
Did you ever feel like you were a subject in a lab that all kinds of scientists were measuring with all kinds of rulers and scales, and think to yourself, 'If you would all just give me a minutes' worth of peace, I might be able to invent a ruler that could measure myself.' Of course, it would not serve any purpose in the measurement of any other person, but I had no interest in that anyway, at the time of the thought. I am not sure when it happened.

I was hoping that your answer would be 'Firestone, you are better than anyone ever thought you were.', but I was not actually expecting it, because, of course, you're relocation to more proximal climes would not be a personal heartbreak for me, as such. But I did have to take a guess.
As to the greater question, 'helpless' is often the only alternative to aggressive, unpleasant, costly, and painful interventions, for which there are rarely instruction sheets. In any complicated situation, I will always make an effort to care, I can assure you.
peace out,
