Safe?

My childhood friend just sent me a message on the facebook telling me that he is back in the United States. He said that he just got back from Iran yesterday. I said, "I am happy that at least you are safe". He got very angry with me and wrote back, "Do you even know what you are saying? Safe? Safe? Do you know how many of my friends died or got beaten up? Safe? What are you talking about? I am safe. So what? What about my friends? What about them? "

I had nothing to say. Nothing...Other than staring at my laptop silently and in tears...
