From someone who recognized the tough task of being a friend - Gloria Naylor
"Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over."
When you don't really care about a person, it is easy to watch them walk into the fire, for you have no vested interest in them coming out alive. But when you cherish the soul of another the way true friends do, it pains you to watch them hurt themselves or be hurt by others. Yet one of the hardest parts of really loving a friend is allowing them to travel their own journey, however painful, and being there on the other side with open arms and lots of Kleenex!
Have a compassionate day!
