I try always to put myself in their shoes. They don't think they're idiots! Many of them think WE'RE idiots! The ruling monsters tell them we're idiots, and most believe it. So, though I don't think I'm an idiot, whether I am or not, I want to be cared about and looked after, just like (very nearly) everyone wants to be cared about and looked after.
