Sometimes You Fail

[Guest Elizabeth K]

Stubbornness

Is it me or is it them

Sometimes I really cannot know

It seems I have this need to say

What I feel others need to know

Am I stubborn not giving up

Trying to make points carefully

Or is it the other who listens not

To what I feel I need to say

When does it go too far I think

When do I quit and just walk away

Is that a failure upon my part

Or rather something I missed in them

A flaw whereby they cannot perceive

The help I try to force on them

So am I a fool for feeling sad

Or am I sad they act the fool

[Guest Emily Ray]

Another wonderful poem looking at something difficult!

My dear Lizzy,

You can only offer help, it is up to the other as to whether to accept it or not.

Never stop offering, lots of people need it and most will accept it.

Love ya,

Sally

Never a fool for offering love and advise.

Help can never be forced on anyone for that robs the person who you are trying to help of their right to make decisions and stand or fail on their own. It says they are not capable of making their own decisions. Sometimes when we try to force our opinions we put people in the position of not being able to accept without losing their own self respect. It's hard to watch those we care about making what we feel are mistakes but ultimately that is their right as human beings with as mush right to decide what is best for themselves as we have.

You can offer and you can lead -the rest is not up to you and the result is not your success or failure. It is not a rejection of you personally but perhaps a rejection of having someone else determine their actions

So continue to give your love in the form of advise and your love in the form of acceptance.

Love

Johnny
