How to save a life

You cannot save anyone from anything. Even if you want to help and save them(friends, family, relatives, etc) from life's burden, if they resist, you just have to stop and let them face their own chosen path.

And if all else fail with that person, you don't have to blame yourself. If you think that you did your best in saving them, it's not your fault anymore. Time and circumstances will make them think that: "I would have let them save me".

I have these two friends of mine whom I tried to help with their "life matters". One is from drowning in a "wrong ocean of love" and the other one is from getting hooked in an "inappropriate way of achieving a good mark".


DROWNING IN A WRONG OCEAN OF LOVE

I have this friend named Martie, she's a fine and beautiful lady inside and out. She's very smart and she has a good talent in writing (she's into blogging also. deep deep and full of pain posts). For months now, her ex called her and asking for reconciliation, after 3 long years. She's into dating that time with my friend also named Aji. She had a dilemma between the two guys, between "past and present", between Aji and Erik. Until such time, she made her decision and chose her ex Erik.

But Erik is committed to another girl, imagine? Martie accepted Erik knowing that he's still pledged to someone and their situation might cause trouble. She assumed all, she admitted the sufferings, all the pains caused by their relationship.

I and our group of friends tried to talk to her, to convince her and to help her understand that she's in a wrong path, she's in a very wrong set-up. She listened, "we thought". She never listened, after so many words of encouragement, SHE NEVER listened and continued drowning herself and didn't ask for help. She's smart but she just let her emotions control her decisions.

And now, after we tried to save her, now, she's PREGNANT. She got pregnant with the SAME GUY, with the SAME SET-UP. She decided to have a child knowing that she's in a wrong set-up, knowing that she has no assurance with Erik.

My point is, you can get pregnant with a guy that will accept the full responsibility and can assure you that you're the only girl that she has, and that you're his only focus.

That's it. We tried, we failed. She never listened, she drowned.


HOOKED IN AN INAPPROPRIATE WAY OF ACHIEVING A GOOD MARK

I have a classmate turned friend named Jelo. He's in a wrong way of acquiring good grades in our every exams, what I mean is, he's into CHEATING (not just an ordinary "paper-peek" cheating but into, in filipino term, KODIGO). My group of friends tried not to tolerate him and his "other friend".

He and his friend got us wrong. They got mad at us. Now, we're friends turned foes.

We just tried to save them, because we believe that Cheating is Failing. But they never listened.


*Im not trying to degrade anyone here, I just want to share and be able to touch lives with my friends' story of life.
