Lost in Translation Posted May 5, 2018 1 hour ago, wandelaar said: Same with me. Sometimes I help other people, sometimes I don't. It's inconceivable to me that I should fully participate in developing a perspective that radically deviates from the path I am currently going. ... In such a case I am not prepared to "help" such a person realize his dreams. Even in completely harmless cases there are limits to the time and energy I want to invest in other people. ... At times like this I ask myself, "What would happen if I weren't here?" The obvious answer is the event would carry itself to fruition on its own. Then I ask myself, "Am I OK with that outcome?" If the answer is yes then I do not interfere. If the answer is no then I take action. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
