You must know a much better class of people than I do. I love people in general, but they can be ignorant and petty and foolish. Rose has consistently show compassion -- from the plumber in EotW to the kid in L&M and so many people in between. She's often the person who provides not just verbal emotional support, but physical support to the people that they're helping. She's so brave that it occasionally crosses into recklessness. And she's curious -- so many people don't question the world around them, don't ask questions, don't search out the places where things don't make sense.

Again, if most of the people that you know are braver, more curious, and more compassionate than Rose, then I envy you your acquaintances.
