Makarand tried to call his brother using WhatsApp, he thought he's calling his brother's current phone number, but he was calling the old number of his brother registered in the United States. Someone responds and start questioning Makarand's identity; then he explained why he called, and the person began to say foul words towards him.

He learned that be the first seek, be first to seek to understand, and then be understood. So change the environment that will allow you to change your attitude, your minds. Even if he tries to apply that empathy, even if he has that empathetic attitude, it's not going to get me anywhere. It's not going to result in any meaningful outcomes.
