All I can handle.

I know people who need help. Addicts. They are friends, relatives and strangers. But in many instances, I can't get them help. Because they don't want it. Or they're too far away from reality to do anything positive about their situations. So on occasion I write them off. Knowing that they have to bottom out. They have to want help in order to be helped. Maybe I should anguish over their plights. And lose sleep over it. But generally, I don't. I recognize that I can't fix the world. And I can't fix other people. I have my hands full fixing myself and remaining true to myself and to my beloved. Most times, that's all I can handle. --Jim Broede
