being able to look at every problem from both sides is at times a blessing and a curse. it renders me indecisive, unable to take sides and therefore sometimes unable to give the comfort that someone might really need. it causes me to question life and how funny and unfair it is sometimes. like it or not, everyone is selfish. there is no one who is selfless, because how many of us know someone who is willing to be hurt, used, lied to or mistreated by someone, only to forgive them in the end?
two of my friends recently broke up. i sided with one of them. knowingly neglecting the other side of the story, i comforted her, tried to shift the blame to the other party, tried to make her angry, tried anything to get her out of self pity. yet...she is not the only one who has been hurt. no matter how much i disapprove of the reasons for the breakup, no matter how disappointed it makes me in the integrity and strength of character of the people involved, i wish i could be there for both of them at the same time.
