There was an episode, one of my favorite moments in Star Trek, when Captain Kirk looks over the cosmos and says, ‘Somewhere out there someone is saying the three most beautiful words in any language.’ Of course your heart sinks and you think it’s going to be ‘I love you’ or whatever. He says, ‘Please help me.’ What a philosophically fantastic idea – that vulnerability and need is a beautiful thing.
