In most of the relationship, I tried to help him overcome his addictions. When gentle encouragement did not work, I tried tough love. Shortly after that, he passed away. <br /><br />I am more cautious now. Cynicism would be an easy choice, perhaps one that I choose more than I should. But still, I care. I don't want to give up on anyone, even if my efforts are a complete waste.<br /><br />Tilt!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533661382051594846.post-77606365224006187262011-04-20T20:39:30.729-07:002011-04-20T20:39:30.729-07:00I have been windmilling at windmills for as long a...I have been windmilling at windmills for as long as I remember. It is so fitting that you write this. I am trying to learn that love and simple bliss are not shallow, not if they spring forth from keen awareness and compassion. Under those circumstances I think they just might change the world. <br /><br />Why is it sometimes so difficult to stop a pointless fight?I'm Katie.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00913701914113335102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6533661382051594846.post-59054274873325578772011-04-20T16:10:37.663-07:002011-04-20T16:10:37.663-07:00In concept it is endearing.

Probably because I do it so much and so often. I'm surprised my arms haven't turned into windmills from all tilting at windmills they've done.Mandy_Fishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05561598721266208665noreply@blogger.com
