If the hallmark of society is compassion and our ability to respect each other, then these are sour, dysfunctional times. The other evening I had a brief chat with a friend about the tragic death of Caroline Flack. Normally a thoughtful and kind-hearted guy, his couldn’t-care-less attitude was jarring. Now I didn’t follow her on Instagram and seldom watch Love Island, which she hosted for several years. But the fact that someone so loved was in such distress that she would consider suicide her only option … it saddened me.
