This quote points to a difficult reality of collapse and care.

When people are overwhelmed or afraid, resistance isn’t always rejection — it’s often the body protecting itself. Help offered without trust or consent can land as danger.

As we move toward fair share ethics, this matters deeply. Care has to be relational, paced, and responsive — or it risks doing harm even with good intentions.
