Said with the same way someone might discuss their religion; he doesn’t expect Price to get on board, but he isn’t capable of being dissuaded.
He wants to explain that he volunteers at homeless shelters sometimes, that when he’s incarcerated he usually ends up having to do group substance counseling, that in many different ways he’s seen people who don’t see themselves as people, people whom others don’t see as people. He’s familiar with I don’t deserve the good things other people deserve, with people are right to tell me I don’t matter, with if I destroy myself it’s because I deserve it, with if I hurt someone else I don’t have to think about how I hurt. He’s seen all that. He’s felt a lot of it.
He would have to let Price in, let Price know him more, to show his bona fides for sadness. And he isn’t willing to do that. So he takes another drink.
