Taking advantage of anyone is a sign of weakness.
Few have tried to take advantage of me, lately.
One, who did try, became furious with me,
for saying “No” to his pleas for money.
I do not see this as a loss, for me,
as putting all one’s eggs in a single basket,
is a recipe for disaster.
He’d have done better,
to ask for the help of a group.
I was not his only online friend.
Others in my life now,
are important,
in that my presence is solely
to help them
build on their personal strengths.
Here, I see a steady progress.
This is always the key:
Help others make the most
of what is already inside them.
Glad you saw through that request. Some need to hear the word “no” so that they develop the means to help themselves. Reminds me of raising children….
