There are numerous decisions we make throughout our life time. We choose the people who will be our friends. We choose where we live. We choose to have children. We choose to stay in close contact with our families. We choose to give and we choose to take. We choose to love and be loved. We choose between good and evil. One might even say we choose life or death. This weekend I witnessed most of these major choices.
There is a part of me driven to care and love people, often those people are prone to defects related to dysfunctional families. I guess I can relate to the dysfunction of my own.
Bill, a very close friend of mine, is a man with a very good heart. Unfortunately he is also very egotistical and selfish. Which he tries to overcompensate with generosity, which may be considered selfish acts based upon his need to salvage relationships or gain admiration from peers.
He also suffers from mental illnesses that causes "life interuptis." Because I care about him, I find myself challenged by maintaining a friendship and rescuing someone who has uncontrollable urges and an addiction.
Alcohol you control it; or it controls you.
I'm sorry.
