I see the potential in a person, the emotions, the reasons why the way they are. I give them credit for how they are, I rationalize why they be, why they act, why their behavior is so. I forgive them. But I also know that there are better ways. I feel angry that they should steep so low, remain so dark. That they should be so selfish- that is something I do not understand. (thanks friend, who described it pretty practically and well for me to understand). It makes me doubt myself, being involved, emotionally, with someone who makes you connect to them.. but truly there is no real equal connection. A person with lower confidence, will be almost a slave to these energy drainers (because the drainers give them what they are lacking, because the person gives the drainer sympathy, company, etc…), with more frightened outlooks of the world and social occurances- fears also, of being judged. But there is no reason to feel scared, you know how you are. To write it simply, the ones worth it will give you chances. These “faithless”, I call them, have fears too, but does that make you equal to them? No. Their fears include a lack of the need or desire to intrinsically discover a way to heal, a better way to be.
