Weisha I do have compassion for him, and I feel from my heart with

how you want to help him but I'm torn between what I feel he wants

and doesn't want. I was with a healing guru several months ago and

someone like your friend came to him and wanted him to heal him. He

was smoking a cigarette when he saw the healing guru. The healing

guru told him, " take care of what you can do yourself, then come

back " . The healing guru then turned away and went to another client

that had already committed himself to healing and to do whatever it

took. I do love and enjoy helping those that will take steps on

their own behalf. And I'm confused if it's okay to help someone that won't do

anything for themselves? Can you help me understand this confusion?
