Consequences..
I gotta say you got alot of support here G-man. Which is great, the one thing that I see from this point is that you keep attracting people with ''messed up lives'' you know why their lives are messed up right?
I know quite alot of people locally, and alot of them have messed up lives, just as Frank refers to in his post, when he returns home he see's ex-girlfriends or girls he dated with bad situations, alot of them refuse to accept the consequences of the paths they chosen many years ago.
You can only advise you can't push or enforce the change, when you meet these girls in the future just remember that you can't save them all, and even though they all aren't aware of the consequences of their actions, we can see and hear about geniune life evidence with the post from Bravo... of the girl he dated/got involved with for 1 year. He got himself in the middle and despite having a better life and happier future to provide for her and her son she still chose the wrong path... she'll only know its the wrong path in the future.. but Bravo done the smart thing and got out.
Locally I know this husband and wife who beat each other senseless, and their kids are all grown up now in their 20s and they think the answer to every problem is to resort to violence... theres this saying.. it goes like this...
"Shit breeds shit'' if you have parents that don't love or care.. and have no regard for the law.. your gonna end up with a messed up scenario.. the police were always constantly round at their house, eventually the parents got kicked out of the rented house by the local authority... somehting to do with a public order notice or something. After so many call outs by the authorities they get moved to another area.
You've always struck me as a level headed person, someone who takes pride in his projects and someone who is quite logical with problems, so like everyone says, you can only be responsible for the paths you choose in your own life, at some stage you'll be due a good person, hey out of all those chosen one of them will be a keeper, and they'll realise all those good qualities that shine in you as a person and stick with you. I know its frustrating not being able to help others but sometimes you have to let them go and make those mistakes on their own.
Me personally, I see myself very much as someone who respects others and accepts the consequences of my own actions, I actually learnt this from the GTA Videogame... I know how messed up is that?
In this one scene Tommy V spots his partner in crime by the bar... theres been a problem with the racketeering scheme they setup and lance says ''I'm sorting it'' in quick retaliation Tommy snaps ''how? by drinking by the bar, you call this sorting it?'' scroll on a few missions later, Lance calls you up and snaps
"I dont like you talking me down in front of the others'' in response... Tommy states "Hey Lance, You screwed up, if I screw up you can bust my A$$ for it in front of them, dont screw up and we wont have this problem"
The motto of this to be learnt is that far too many people aren't willing to accept the consequences of their actions or the paths they've chosen.. some of them are living life blind and simply dont see them until its too late.
more recently i've had alot of trouble accepting some things in life, corruption and greed being two of them. I hate that I can't change some of the laws in my own country, I hate that every couple of years we elect someone different into power that changes very little and I hate that certain criminals are left to walk the streets and harm good people... I hate that paedophiles and rapists roam my local area and I can't do anything about it... what can I do about those things? Nothing.. not at the moment... all I can be is a good citizen and be my own person, make sure my friends and family are well looked after and do the best I can. I have alot of hatred for things in my life I cant control... some of which i haven't even listed here.. thats only the tip of the iceberg... we all deal with things in a different way I guess it goes without sayin though, if you ever do need to let some heat out you have my msn address.
