The Unsolvable Dilemma

Mar 29, 2005 17:19

To every problem there is a solution. This saying is perhaps one of the most optimistic on the planet, up there with “everything’s going to be ok” and “things are meant to be.” I’ve seen some situations recently that have involved problems which I didn’t know how to solve-not because I wasn’t sure how to go about it, but because everything I ( Read more... )

you know, somehow a lot of your entries end up dealing with things that I'm dealing with in my life RIGHT NOW...crazy, huh...maybe we have some godbrother-godsister psychic connection? I dunno. But anyways, on with the rest of my comment. well, our school is nicknamed "Weedward" for a reason...so many of my friends light up. I worry about them like, 24/7...cuz they'll like call me when i'm high and i have to convince them to stop before they OD or something...and today my friend pulled out a bag. At school in front of a video camera. I was like, put that away before you get expelled. I mean, i've spent the last two months trying to get him and a few others to stop. One has cleaned up. And today, after what happened, i was ready to give up on trying to get them to stop. But you know what? your entry just helped me so much. Thank you for being like an online guidance counselor. Love ya!

You are in luck Narge. I have something to comment. So I can solve the comment problem and the unsolvable dilemma in one swing. You are a lucky Indian. Anyway, I understand what you are saying. I won't use drugs since you just did so I'll use something close to home. Racism. It's an ongoing problem in our society. I don't think we can ever change the ideals like that that our pounded into people's minds. It's amazing how stubborn people can be to change the way they think and truthfully, there is nothing we can do to change their minds. We can only influence the change and which way it goes. My parents are included, more specifically my mom but I will spare you on the details. Point blank: This unsolvable dilemma may not have a solution for quite some time until we get microchips implanted in our brains with remotes so we can influence each other

Niraj... I know exactly what you are saying. Recently I just had a few friends who had some substance abuse problems not to long ago. And in fact, I had let them know ahead of time that I did not appreciate what they were doing to themselves because I cared for the very very much. And dont get me wrong, I still do. But even still, their minds did not change untill recently. Its always worth a shot to let people know how you feel about a certain situation, in this case its drugs. Sometimes they will learn the easy way, without performing the action intended... but often times its the hard way. My friends learned the hard way, and even thought one has changed her mind, the other isnt quite sure how he/ she feels about it. But sooner or later, everyone is bound to realize that the adive they were given was for their own good. And if they dont, hey atleast you put in the effort of trying to stop them. You cant make anyone do what you want, but you can always try to change their minds. And in the end, the effort you took is what ( ... )

oh how i love a good journal entry..=) collen61589 March 30 2005, 03:39:30 UTC
a lot of what you wrote about is very familier to me... i know from experience with these kinds of situations that no matter how much a friend may care about you and tell you not to drink or smoke etc. etc... you may always appreciate how much they care and everything but none of that will ever change you. its deffinately the person who has to change themselves... ive had lots of talks with friends about how i need to change and sometimes i even tell them i will just to get them to stop giving me these talks.. but then i go out and do something and then they get mad.. this whole process repeats itself frequently too.. and each time i mess up i get these conversations more ofton on how i need to change and i dred them, and still do believe that they wont change me it is me that needs to change myself, but that doesnt mean i believe my friends shouldnt still try. like... the more i hate having them tell me to stop.. i would rather have them tell me to stop, then for them to stop telling me..because that means they would have given up on ( ... )
