Forty-Fifth Keychain-[Written/Potentially Action for Axel and Xion]

[perplexme]

If you can't trust your friends, who can you trust?
What do you do when...no.
If something's based on life and de--

So...if people you know are keeping secrets from you, should you bother asking them about it until they cave in, or just believe them when they say it's for your own good? How would you know it's for your own good...actually, how would they know? It's your good, not theirs, right?

I can't settle for waiting and doing nothing until it's over.

Regardless of the path of action you can only truly know one outcome. You can't ever compare, only make what seems to be the best decision at the time.

I'm sure most people have. And most people have probably been on both ends at one point. When people care for others they can become selfish in their desire to protect others.

Even during those times when you make a decision without knowing the outcome? Does that count?

That's why I asked. Why do they become selfish? It doesn't make sense.

I would say so, yes. Especially then, because you don't know the outcome you can't know which one would have been better. But you can only embrace those choices and believe in the path you walk.

...because they don't realise it's selfish. In trying to protect someone sometimes you end up hurting them.

That's...actually pretty solid advice. I'll keep it in mind.

So basically there's really no way to avoid it?

You get angry at them, you make your choices and they learn. The opposite is also true. It's because people care that it can be painful, difficult, frustrating, sometimes. But there are other things as well, right?

That's one way to look at it, but it just seems a lot more complicated than that.

It's always complicated when there are other people involved. Believe in your friend's intention but also believe in your own convictions. You'll find a middle ground somehow.

...thanks. That helps, really. It's really complicated right now, but that's a good thing to do.

I'm glad it was of some help. Even a little.

It's more information than I had before at least.

Only because you chose to accept those words.

Good luck, I'm sure you will find your solution.

For now, sure.

...thanks.
