This is a very interesting topic! Yesterday I watched a video of a guy standing on the street with a sign that looked like "hug me to throw off your anger." And people came up and hugged him. They were mostly young people. Older people looked at him like a fool and walked past him.
I think that if we had to stand on the street like that with a dog, we could hear a lot of interesting words about ourselves and they would not all be pleasant. We really live in different worlds. But this applies to people my age, young people are more tolerant. I hope so!
