Are you really worried something bad might happen, or are you mistaking 'bad' for just 'inconvenient'?

How to get heard!

Hurting People Hurt People
If someone is mean to us, we take it personally, but what if you knew that someone had just lost a loved one like a spouse or a parent? Do we still take it personally, or do we rationalise that their pain is being transfered onto us? There's a good chance that most mean deeds spring from outside pain and unresolved feelings.
Hurting people hurt people. Try not to take it personally, otherwise you'll be hurting too and may pass that on.

Love me like I do!
Sometimes the real stress cones from our desire to want someone to match our intensity of feeling over a subject matter. From extreme love to extreme hate and all the apathy in between.

Is Helping Hurting?
A radical notion... Is helping causing more problems than it solves? What is 'helping' anyway? The dictionary defines it as; make it easier or possible for (someone) to do something by offering them one's services or resources.
But who decides who needs it, or the definition of 'easier'? Why do we help?... And is helping really helping if we do it to help ourselves more? If we help based on our perspectives... Maybe we will do more harm than good... If we asked people how they wanted to be helped instead of deciding your way of helping and accepting their way... But that starts to lead to a different topic, where is the line between helping and being used? Where someone doesn't need help, but uses as an excuse to be lazy or get further ahead. Such a simple concept, or so I thought, but sounds like something under the surface that is very very complicated.
