Misery loves good company, so if you are surrounded with drama, gossip and fools you may want to consider that you are presently at risk of becoming one of them.
You must firmly, absolutely and ruthlessly protect your safety and sanity.
This is your life, and you have the right and responsibility to make good decisions for yourself.
You cannot save everyone. Some people are going to destroy themselves no matter how much you try to help them.
It is never cruel to want to save yourself from being swamped by fools.
Being a good person has nothing to do with allowing people to destroy you.
You cannot save people from themselves. All you can do is stand firmly in your hopes for them, with compassion.
Suffering is one of life's great teachers.
As much as we would like to help others avoid pain, sometimes we have to let go and allow them to receive their own painful lessons.
A person at peace can immediately recognize a consciousness in crisis, whereas those in crisis cannot fully understand themselves or others.
