I feel the lady at the bakery, might have a crush on me, I gave her my name and asked her’s, though I didn’t have the courage to ask her out for a coffee yet, not sure I’m in a position to be in a relationship but she’s cute.
This evening I’ll see Cin, I think I’ll have a talk with her tonight. About how her addiction and behavior is destroying herself and the people around her.
I should, and I should do it in a way that will help her digest this information and convince her to turn her life around.
Though, I should also have a talk with her BF, see if he’s ok with her drinking, sleeping around, and whatnot,
though idk, on one hand he’s a good dude and deserve the truth, on the other hand, it might ruin his evening or even holiday, and as my mom use to say “don’t get into a mess, and you won’t have to get out of it”, especially since I have unwholesome motivations behind…
I should throw out the part that my unwholesome motivation suggest and just genuinely check with him where he’s at, what he accept and want, how he see things first and foremost.
I have a belief that, each ego, each consciousness on Earth is part of a whole, and that we are all an evolution/reincarnated version of oneself across non-linear time-space, every possibilities of the self.
Which means that in my view, similarly to how I am my younger self and yet am not, similarly am I and “other” people (similarly and simultaneously the other way around).
so, with my belief, which I perfectly know is incomplete or I wouldn’t be on this Earth, it would be stupid to treat anyone badly.
If other people are me with another mind, another body, another ego, another personality, another circumstances, another specialties, and another spread of competency, then it would be stupid, unbecoming and undeserving to treat any living being with anything other than empathy, love, care, and honesty; Or to assume anything other than that people do what they can with what they got.
So yeah, I should really thing through what could be the most useful for their path, wants, and circumstances, rather than what could be more useful for my lower carnal desires.
Spirit over Matter.
As Dale Carnegie said in “How to win friends and influence people”
The effective leader should keep the following guidelines in mind
when it is necessary to change attitudes or behaviour:
- Be sincere. Do not promise anything that you cannot deliver. Forget
about the benefits to yourself and concentrate on the benefits to the
other person.
- Know exactly what it is you want the other person to do.
- Be empathetic. Ask yourself what is it the other person really wants.
- Consider the benefits that person will receive from doing what you
suggest.
- Match those benefits to the other person’s wants.
- When you make your request, put it in a form that will convey to the
other person the idea that he personally will benefit.
For now, I have been conflicted on 2 regarding their situation, and I haven’t taken the time to really consider 3, 4, and 5 deeply.
Precisely because I didn’t respect point 1 “Forget about the benefits on yourself and focus on the benefits to the other person”.
Edit: in the end, I decided to not go see them tonight.
I’ll let them have a good fun Christmas, and that’ll give me the time needed to really think about it 
Edit 2: He decided to end things last night (well, not quite, telling her he sees her as a friend but they can continue to see each others), well I should still call him to get news, but maybe tomorrow evening, he didn’t sleep last night since he looked after a very depressed and dismayed Cin and gotta work today
