Zaidie, dang woman! You'll have me in tears again... I'll blame hormones LOL!

But I guess thats my thing. I like to be able to outreach a hand when a person feels anger or pain or that no one else cares. And even if everyone else sees their pain or their torment as extreme, it is... FOR THEM. And I think if you back a wounded animal into a corner it will attack, if you offer it food and comfort and wait for it to come to you, it will. Through seeing the kindness you offer when no one else would, even when they had no kindness to give themselves, they are more likely to see that the world isn't a complete dark place.

And thats the thing. I have known people in my life who are beyond help and healing. But I have also been thoroughly amazed at the joy in seeing someone creep back from the dark.

So yes I do agree with all that is said here, do (if you are in a place to do so) accept responsibility for your emotions and any guilt you feel. And if you are not there yet keep trying. And if you see someone who isn't quite there yet then don't back them into a corner because they should be more like you.

And I need to remind myself of this daily, because everyone has bad days LOL and I am far from perfect (like opposite end of the scale far). And I often need a reminder that sometimes it pays to think outside my own head and away from my own assumptions, judgements and emotions.
