On heading off trouble.

I impose.  Which can alienate some people.  Because I try to force ‘em to solve their problems.  I make suggestions. One. Two. Three.  Maybe more. All sorts of alternatives. Often, I try to relieve heartbreak by imposing. Sometimes, that makes the situation worse.  They become pissed.  They wish I’d mind my own business.  But still, I proceed.  Even against better advice.  Because I’m of a mind that every problem can be solved. And the sooner, the better.  Lingering unhappiness ain’t good.  It’s bad for one’s physical, mental and emotional health.  For the soul. One ends up in the throes of devastating depression. I’m for heading off the dire consequences.  By imposing. By intervening.  –Jim Broede
