a better self
One of the greatest vanities is to think you can make people better. They are the way they are and will become better, that is if they become better, only if they decide to. Otherwise all the good intentions you might have are doomed to become ashes, and your fall will be greater. Everytime we settle our hopes on someone, blindingly believing that person could start having the same dreams and ideals just because you have them for him/ her there will come one day when all those ideals of turning the world, or just a single person better will crumble all around you just like the multiple puzzle pieces of a broken mirror. And everytime you start gathering all those pieces in an attempt to recreate your world, it's gets hellishly hard. You finally come to understand the Sisiphus's myth, and you finally see that's life- ups and downs, probably more downs, but anyway as long as you find the guts and strength to start picking puzzles again , there is still hope.

Changing the way someone thinks or his/her way of seeing things is quite literally a pain in the ass, because, no matter how hard you try to explain the error of their ways, a native predisposition to stubbornness (which has the tendency to be true for most of us) keeps them form getting your point! It's like with those people with few and wery rigid ideas...like old folks
So what is your plan...change the world a person at a time? Or just your world, your sphere of confidence/influence? You know that some people only learn the hard way, and even then there might still be doubt regarding the extent in which they actually realised what had happened...
It's wery thoughtful of someone to caution you when your actions and your way of thinking is counterproductive/hazardous/unreasonable/stupid(!), but then againg, doing this in a repeated manner will have a serious side-effect: if that person doesn't get the point, they'll think you have something against them, which is so...NOT what you expect/want/feel towardd that someone
So the question remains....what is there to do?
Got no answer for that one, nor for many other questions that have risen these past few years/months/days...
As you see, I quite love punctuation marks and "/"...:))
Guess who!
