-The Puppet Master
Do you know a person who you feel is running a hundred miles an hour in the wrong towards their own doom? Have you been able to picture a very probable future where that someone has ended up colliding against a wall that is most immovable, only to end up bleeding, crying, if still alive at all? If you have, you surely have felt pity, sadness.
Have you done anything about it?
Knowledge of the outcome is not enough. Being able to point a finger and recognize the problem isn’t either. They are part of the solution, sure. The true solution lies in our lending a hand, not in our pointing a finger at the victim sinking in their own inner maelstrom, for that is more the job of modern religious figures.
By lending a hand I don’t mean ‘get so involved that you’ll be immersed in the problem’. I don’t mean ‘solve their problem’ either. Each to its own, each person must learn from their own hardships. Each one should grow like a cactus, through the desert on its own little piece of dirt.
Even though it is not your job, you sometimes will still go out of your own way to extend some help to a doomed character in the film you’re currently living through.
You will many times lend a hand to someone in need who will not only ignore it, but maybe even scorn it, or even bite it. I know that as a fact, I lived through it myself.
You know what you have to do then?
Guess what!
Nothing…
Lesson’s learned: Don’t get in someone else’s shoes, walk with them, and let them go the way they choose.
