Love in the Refugee Camps

I remember living there and just how hard people were on each other on the streets. And when you got inside people's apartments and when they started to trust you, the friendships were so intense and so wonderful.

I wonder whether there's some kind of calculus where the level of suffering is such that it's just too much for humans to bear.
