Standing on Solid Ground

I imagine that we have all found ourselves, at least at one time or another, disagreeing strongly with the actions of someone we know and care about.

I try, very hardly, to not judge anyone, especially those that I consider part of my circle of friends. Occassionally though, this becomes close to impossible.

I want to shake this person, slap them, do anything that will bring them back to reality. But like so many others, reality is what we make it, and this person truly believes in their self-made reality.

I understand that there is nothing I can do. No words I can speak that won't drive a wedge. So I have chosen to be quite, which is difficult for me. I can only say the same thing so many times, a person must help themselves, or understand for themselves.

I hope that they will.
