You cannot save anyone. You can be present with them, offer your groundedness, your sanity, your peace. You can even share your path with them, offer your perspective. But you cannot take away their pain. You cannot walk their path for them. You cannot give answers that are right for them, or even answers they can digest right now. They will have to find their own answers. Jeff Foster
I believe that we all had (or have) in our lives people with the messianic syndrome, who wanted (want) to save us, who put themselves above us, who have resolved all their problems, and whose ultimate mission in their life is to save us...
I think they should read this quote carefully!
These people start by saying... how can I help? when they actually mean... how can I fix this and let you know that I am better than you?
