For years, I've known this fellow. We've became good friends for quite a long time now. However, there were situations that tend to put a strain in our friendship. It was mostly from his own doings and all I could do is offer the best advice to him while I'm around. But the strategy I do to give advice is beyond normal. You see, whenever I try to give good advice, he seems not to listen at all as my words shoot past his left ear to the right ear and it's gone. But in order to let it absorb within him, I have to somehow talk to him like it's an insult-of-sorts. And somehow, someway, he'll wound up remembering it. Tonight in a phone conversation, (out of nowhere) he tried to turn the tables on me suddenly saying aloud why I'm ganging up on his business like his mother and brother. Like them, I care about him whilst he probably doesn't seem to express the same towards them and myself. Now this guy's talking more trash just because I'm in Orlando grounds and that he's in Virginia. I can say this: I worked my darndest to get this man going to the right path. But he chose the other direction instead where he tries to fit in and ends up making so many irrational decisions. The specifics of his problems will not be mentioned here on this blog as a sign of respect for his privacy. But if he wants to do what he likes, then so be it. I've done my part and I was glad to have helped him out at that particular point in time. It's all up to him now. He's got to listen to himself and make wise choices instead of wrong ones. He has to learn this all, even if it's by means of ending this friendship. Sometimes being a good person to someone in this world doesn't matter. One can never accept his wrongs and faults. Instead, he denies thinking instead that he's flawlessly perfect - but really, he's not.
