Myquestions

You have walked a certain road or you have met someone who has travelled that same road and you know it is laced with doom and gloom. And you know chances of getting to your destination are slim. You meet someone who is very curious to travel the enchanted valleys what would your position in that be?

Are you going to sit the person down and explain to them the perils of what they are endeavoring to do? Try with all your might to dissuade them from taking such a risk? How do you try and stop the person from jumping into the deep end when you know that they cannot swim even if their bodies were made of life jackets?

Let’s say you have tried talking them out of such a clearly precarious journey. A journey you can only hope and pray will end well. But if you let fate run its course and you stand by the side line with your insides burning with fear because you have been there and you know beyond a shadow of a doubt that the end will not be pretty. When the inevitable happens what part will you have played in this person’s final demise?

The road well walked

Soothing yourself with empty words of comfort worlds like, ‘I tried my best’, ‘I gave them enough information and all that’, will not really help. Because from someone’s point of view you did not try hard enough or that it was a half hearted attempt or simply that the best was not good enough.

You failed yourself, you failed your brethren and you have failed the world. If we are here to be the eyes, ears, mouth and the heart of God then we are failing him as well if we sit and watch and have a let’s see how this ends attitude.
