I think life is like a ropes course. It's fun and a challenge, some parts are easier or harder than other parts. Even though we all take the same path usually, different people experience different things for different reasons. Sometimes the wind picks up and wobbles your rope, or maybe the guide was able to help you out in one spot while in another spot somebody younger than you wanted to see what would happen if he shook the rope as hard as he could. We all get on, and eventually we all get off. Some people are terrified the whole time and see only fear and imminent death or pain. Others experience euphoria. Others are somewhere in between. Sometimes we make mistakes, and then we feel our groins being pulled in an uncomfortable way. Some people look at that experience and try to change their behavior so it doesn't happen again. Some people blame others for the pain and try to change those around them so that the groin issue doesn't happen again. And then, when the groin pain happens again, some people go through that process again, hoping that whatever they've done will prevent the groin pull in the future.
In this way, it's easy to see that there are really only two kinds of people.
There are people who are helping.
And there are people who aren't helping.
Who are you?
