Unseen Treasures

I don't really know how this works... my heart still hurts for some reason and I don't think that I'm in the clear yet for my emotional state. I read things on FB, blogs, twitter and all kinds things and if you can help someone that's great but I feel that some try and force others into feeling they aren't ready for. Or expose them in ways they may not want to be exposed in. I may help people from time to time, I don't even think people listen to my advice I know some certain few really don't ever listen to me but if I reach one or two people in my lifetime then I've done more than a lot of others. I just don't see where power and praise get to a persons' head they think "Hey, now I know more than them and can force them to change"... wrong. You can't, people have to deal and learn on their own. NEWS FLASH: YOU can't control what others feel. How could you? You don't know, you can't change it, sure you can be a friend and listen but the real question here is CAN you listen? I find it funny those who truly think they "help" a lot of others, don't listen to a damn thing they say. It's just " well that sucks, but here's what you should do...". Sometimes people just need you to listen. Half the time you're not even there to listen to them, the rest you're riding in on your high horse to dish out advice you can't even take. Not many really care anymore, why would they? They get few things out of the situation so why help? It's just sad that there are so many out there "helping" but they're really just stalling the normal process of healing because they're more broken than the people they try to help. My advice is to try being a real friend, the rewards are far greater than you'll know.
