I worry about Friends.
On a personal note I worry about friends who I don’t talk to much. I’m shy.. like super shy.. and sometimes I think that that comes off as aloof. Then, when I don’t see them for a long period of time I think that they don’t care to see me anymore and so in my shyness I avoid them. Really, it’s a viscious circle and I hope I don’t drive certain people away because then I’d miss them.
On a more personal note.. there are people in my life who I just worry about in general. They are people with issues. I guess everyone has issues.. but me, being the big communicator that I am, want to help. The thing is, morally.. I worry about my ability to help others. I can’t _FORCE_ them to follow my advice. In some cases I worry that the very act of giving them advice will push them down a completely different direction. In some cases I stand to the side and watch.. I’m a good watcher. If they need help and ask for it then that’s one thing.. but I can’t just stick my nose in their business. That’s not polite or nice.
The whole thing is kind of vague. Not so much because I’m trying to hide who it is, but because there is a small handful of these nobels that I would love to help… but I don’t know how. At least one of them, I’d probably hurt more by trying to help so I just stay back and out of it. Another group asks for advice and help.. at least I think so.. but the fact that they don’t listen makes me worry about the effectiveness of my advice. then there are those where I just don’t know where to begin.
*sigh* There is a pretty valid arguement that even praying for someone is infringing. Prayer posits the existence of God. the verified existence posits a diety who can effect change and who really actually knows everything. So prayer is like going to the boss and being a tattle tale. You’re better off keeping prayer to being thankful for the blessings you recieve rather than trying to interceed in the affairs of others.
Grrr.. stupid morality.
