For the better.

Of course, that's what I want. For an alcoholic friend to drink no more. For a depressed friend to be happy again. So that's what I strive for. Not only for myself. But for others. Especially those close to me. Yes, I'm trying to change the behavior of others. Most of whom have no overwhelming desire for change. So it should come as no surprise. If some friends tell me to butt out. To mind my own business. But I insist. It is my business. Granted, I can't change the world. But please, allow me to try. At the very least. To try to influence my friends. For the better. --Jim Broede
