Helping another person is both hard and easy.
All it takes is letting him or her simply be. Period.
Unfortunately, 99.99% of the people around you can't do that. Why? Their idea of goodness, reason, and health is too narrow.
In their little pot, the acorn of your uniqueness won’t take root. There’s no room for an oak to grow, no rich soil, no essential nutrients.
They'll be kind and patient with you—until the moment X. Then they’ll start to crumble, revealing embarrassment, irritation, resentment, fear, anger, and so on. That kind of “help” only makes things worse.
Sensing their fragility, you won’t entrust them with what no one else knows. Why? Because you are also puzzled by what’s happening inside you. You need a gaze like a lighthouse—one that guides a ship through the night, the storm, and the waves.
Where does that 0.01% of people get such a gaze? Someone taught them to love themselves in every form, to treasure their own essence, and to recognize gold even in the dirt.
Yours sincerely,
