An Inclusive Litany
3/5/03
A pamphlet distributed by the Student Health Service of the
University of California at Berkeley
advises students upset at the prospect of war in Iraq to "allow for
emotions—crying, frustration, verbal expressions of anger. Avoid
potentially trite remarks like 'everything will be OK.' Make room for
people to have their feelings, even as you try to reassure them.
Simply acknowledging feelings is important, as is being together."
