Nah man, don't straight-up diagnose people with stuff based on incredibly limited facts.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Hi John. I love your work and have a lot of respect for some of the more "classical" journalists working in a modern media. I was wondering - how connected to the local community do you try to become in your visits to some of the toughest places in the world? Do you allow yourself to become emotionally involved with idealism or causes, or do your deliberately keep your distance and try to stay impartial? I'm not sure I could do your job and not find myself incredibly depressed at the end of a working day!

Thanks so much for the answer! I'm of the firm belief that the vast majority of humans are ordinary decent people with a similar outlook. And it's easy to forget that you must have seen your fair share of wonderful events to counter the horror you must also have witnessed. Thanks again!
