Something's gone wrong with this world. People have lost their brains and thereby the capability to rationalize. They have also lost their hearts, thereby the capability to feel and their soul had vanished long back.
This morning, perhaps for the fiftieth time, my friend discussed her 'major tragedies of life' with me that I was aware of since long and had been guiding her on the same. Never once did she accept my advice, but still seeked it each day. So I turned to her and I said - 'Look, its pointless to ask me for advice, because I won't say what you want me to say and you won't do what I want you to do. You won't use your brains and I can't follow stupidity'. That made her quiet. For a whole hour I went on about the importance of making the right decisions in life and taking things seriously for a change.
She understood, she nodded through most of it. But she won't apply it - I am sure. Why she wants to deny the truth, why she doesn't rebel against my harsh words, why she doesn't face her self, is beyond my understanding. I don't mind fishing her out of trouble, I am always there for her, but I want her to realize she's the reason the trouble took place. How can someone be so oblivious to the truth?
Sometimes I think I should just shut up and let her live her own life. At the worst she'll make major mistakes and learn. But it tugs at my heart to see someone close pushing her life down the drain because she can't understand relationships and can't figure out life. Because she doesn't have a brain, a heart and a soul...

The problem with your friend is she prefers to take the easier path than the right one.. The problem with you is that you continue champion others' cause when they refuse to see the right solution is what you offer.. Maybe you are run by your heart :)

She's concreted her beliefs over the years just as I have. I think the problem is the clash between our beliefs. She reasons with hers and I explain with mine. I guess the realization is that while I cannot mould her into believing something I support, she can't mould me either. Eventually, one of us would realize (maybe both) the truths of life and that would be enough to show us whats right for us.
