.

When a friend tells you something major and completely life altering about him or herself, is it nor our responsibility as FRIENDS to be there for this person completely, and support him in his time of need, no questions asked?
The answer is yes, 100% yes. But somehow there are still people out there who can't behave in this basic way. I want to understand where these people are coming from, because I've seen it happen over and over again and I still cannot understand it. Who are they, and what has happened to them to make their hearts so closed?
My personal philosophy is that we are all Brothers, and as such responsible for the welfare of one another. If we see another in need, we should always automatically do whatever is in our power to help that person. Each individual soul comprises one single Universe, so if one soul is in pain, every soul is in pain. If one soul rejoices, every soul rejoices.

What makes me the most disgusted is that I know that in some hidden way, I have hurt (and continue to hurt) these Brothers of mine. How can God love all us when we're so sick in the mind and just downright wrong?
But He does, and that's the only hope for all of us, really.
