"You cannot help another who will not help themself. In the end, all souls must walk their path -- and the reason they are walking a particular path may not be clear to us, or even to them....
Do what you can to help others, of course. Show love and caring whenever and wherever you can. But do not get caught up in someone else's "story..." to the point where you start writing it."
Does anyone know who wrote this? I thought it was profound and apropos.
