Do some people really just refuse to be happy?
I'm not sure why the people I work with are so negative about most things. I've found that keeping positive around most of them helps them but, there is one in particular that I simply can not get through to...and he is very important to me. I used to provide joy and comfort for him, a friend and listened... but the situation now...I can't even break through to a slight hint of hope. It's a complete road block and when I try to talk about it...it sounds like I'm whinning for attention.
It's hard wanting so badly to be there for a person who won't let you be there for him. Then I feel selfish for saying that ...he is acting that way because it is a situation that is very hard for him. I feel his pain mirrored in my heart and it's hard for me to smile knowing it. I want to show him that spring always comes back after a cold, barren winter.
...but my lesson here, I suppose, is that I can't lead really a person to happiness. I'm wearing myself out trying, yet he seems determined to be miserable. I show him light and he closes his eyes. I smile and he frowns. I can't let him bring me down....how do I help him understand the things that I understand about life? Are there really just some people that just refuse to be happy?
