I saw someone crying because they felt excluded, which hurt a lot since I couldn't do anything to help...

This person was mumbling some things about their "inner-self". I don't know what was going through my head at the time, but I couldn't help noticing that this person was talking about something that simply doesn't make any sense.

If there is an "inner-self", it works together with me, even if I don't realise it, it influences my most immediate decisions. After all, if this person already doesn't like themselves, why should they look for a part of themselves that is even more truly intrinsic to this person?

I get it.

For someone desperate in the midst of darkness, any illusion of a glow is capable of attracting them. Because they don't know the root of their problems, they create solutions from the little empirical experience they have.

I don't want to be hypocritical, because when I suffered I thought the same as this person.
