I walk a
path of great affliction; torn between my heart and
sanity. How do I make it go right for all; how do I choose when it can’t benefit both sides? Someone is going to suffer, starting with me. How I wish I had no knowledge of the situation; yet, now I do. How did this responsibility land on my shoulders; why is it mine to care for? I do know why! It is because I can take that responsibility while those involved can’t. It is because I have the answers to handle the situation with the correct result. Will they listen to me; perform the needed actions to make it go right? That; I can not completely control. See… people tend to fall into the trap of feeling sorry for them selves. It’s too easy to say that it is okay to feel like that; when life is so tough. Do people actually think that hardship is punishment; do they not see the challenge? Is it not a test of our character; exercising past lessons learned? Fact is… people do not pay attention; no lessons learned. Then; it is up to someone like me, to bail them out. So here I am; reviewing the factors, taking the care they never did. Will there be a next time and will I be around then? No… sometimes, the best way to handle a thing is to chuck the responsibility back. They must take up the responsibility for their own existence; sadly, fail if they don’t. The technique is known as, tough love; often exercised with our kids. A lesson must be learned; responsibility must be taken, the head must get a bump. How do I explain; the best thing to do, is not to help. |
