Acceptance

It hasn't been a good week. Been spending a lot of time thinking about things. Things that remind me about the way life is, and how it can just ruin you even when you don't have malice in your actions.

Lots of times, I do certain stuff that would be the norm, and yet it can be misconstrued. Things said that are misinterpreted. Ppl have to make it personal, and act like an ass just because they can. What I really meant was not understood, and they got something else altogether. And in other things, you'd expect more from certain ppl, but you get much less. The fact is, you care about some ppl, and they don't give you much in return, and you wonder if your efforts are worth it. And then there are some ppl who you'd love to help, but circumstances make it tough. Your sincerity is there, but to make the effort of helping might make it worse, because it's not wanted.

So I've learnt that there are ppl who will do their darndest to mess things up, because they think it's their God given right to do so, and couldn't care less. There are ppl who may overlook you despite your best efforts to prove to them how much you care. But that doesn't mean that they have forgotten about you completely. And there are ppl who won't accept assistance even when you're dying to lend a hand. You can't save everyone, even if you think you can, even when you really care about them. Because they won't let you, because you may not know more than they do. I've learnt that it's necessary sometimes to accept things like this.

In our crazy world, acceptance is surely a bitter pill to swallow. Even when you have noble intentions.
