If people are offering help, it's because they want to and you have to let them do it. It just makes life so much easier. You just have to put your pride aside.

I don't know why we choose to reach out to help another person, or why we decide that we can't, and withdraw and try to care only for ourselves, but I'm fascinated by that choice.

It comes down to the way you treat people. When you treat people with dignity and respect all the time, you can work through anything.

It is sad when people can't connect, and the sense of desperation that you feel when there is nothing to look forward to.

Some people feel good about helping others, and they do so often. They do not realize that their good deeds have a second agenda. They want to be appreciated.

People are so selfish. Those you help are the ones who turn against you.

You forget that sometimes people are out there to get you - they don't even have a reason.

People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.

You don't know why someone is in a certain circumstance and why they chose to be there. Sometimes it's just about having an experience and learning. I don't think you can begrudge someone that.

Some people are filled by compassion and a desire to do good, and some simply don't think anything's going to make a difference.
