people you shouldn't turn away

"... there are several types of people you shouldn't turn away: those who don't go away even if you tell them to, those who share silence with you readily and those who insist on taking care of you even if you tell them not to".

It's a quote from a story - or rather a diary - that quotes another person; but the idea is quite interesting, don't you think?

I wish certain foolish people would try to understand this.

I've been one in three instances recently - described above I mean - and I think I'm up to the point when I'm ready to send it all to hell. After all, if someone insists on ruining his own life, it's 'his' life.

Let people like that do what they want if they're so dumbfounded. 

I'm through worrying for nothing and dealing with ungrateful fools. After all, just like in the quote above, I don't get a dime or even a 'thank you' for my help and good intentions, so someone could have considered why I do what I do.

Alas, road to hell is paved with good intentions. I'm not going there.
