Tonight I spoke to a friend who is very troubled.  I realised that whilst I could empathise with the fact that they were distressed  I could not really get inside their head or know the place that they were in.  What do you say to someone that just wants to die? I haven’t got a clue. So I listened and made various inane comments and realised how totally useless I being unable to effect anything. I hope that they can find a way home…

Enough

Sadly it would seem that that decent standards of behaviour are no longer the norm.
Yet again I find myself in a situation where I have done everything necessary and appropriate only to find that others seem not to be upholding their part of the bargain.

I can understand why people are pushed into extreme actions often out of despair or being driven to their wits end.

It seems this is the modern way though.
