If anyone is lucky, they have a few friends and family members who will, regardless of the circumstances, think and act in your best interest because of love. With these people, that love can also mean not doing things for you if you are truly lost.

Other than that, the other 9 billion people are going to do what is best for them. They will, intentionally or not, harm you to help themselves. Rare is the human that actually thinks how their actions will affect others, two or three steps down the line, cares and adjusts.

It just so happens in this hobby the test group is narrowed down making people look a little worse. There is something about selling or buying what is essentially a free and natural human function that affects behavior. Imagine if the food were free but you had to pay to eat it. The criminal element is introduced, more PT use, and the waters get muddy.

ISMF got bit by his own kindness. If he had worded the OP differently, this thread could have ended up an anti-WK badgering. Time heals.

Figure an amount and walk away when it's reached...
Until they are ready they are outta reach. Until they hit bottom several times and say enough of this, they're on the take. It's a roller coaster ride everyday.
It is sad to watch though when you care but there's nothing you can do so say a prayer.

Wouldn't be nice to have the luxury to be numb... Or would it?

A lil heart in this place is nice imho.

Numb is a good question Frankie.....it could go either way. But it's impossible for me to not find heart for these girls, it's just me I guess. We are all in this for hobby purposes but the cold hard truth of some situations can be a hard pill to swallow.
