Look into your world, pretty baby
Is it everything you hoped it would be?
The wrong guy, the wrong situation
The right time to roll to me
When a best friend, someone you love so-very-much, comes to you with a problem, what do you do?
Easy: You help them.
Talk them through their trouble, offer any comfort you can. Show them that there is so much better out there than merely wallowing in a bad situation, or the guilty aftermath a bad situation leaves behind. You're there to lend a shoulder and strength.
But what if helping them seems so-very-wrong? What if the advice you give them is only being given for your own selifsh reasons? What if you can't help but be selfish? What if you aren't meaning to be selfish.
Thus is the quandry. Let that person you love stay in the bad situation to save grace for yourself, or risk saying and doing things that are fueled by your good intentions and maybe, just a little, your own selfish desires?
Who is one person to decide what is the best for another?
But can -- should -- a friend really stand back and observe while another friend is in a mess?
Questions, questions, questions...
