Being With.
Learnt an important lesson/reminder; it's about being there WITH someone when needed.
When we try to help someone, we think we're there for them, but sometimes it's really for ourselves. Sometimes upon seeing a problem, we become more interested in finding answers and then making our point across. True albeit that the solutions or words we say may be the right, yet if it's not in the true interest for them, then it's does not go towards helping them. It's just helping for the good of helping. Sometimes for our own interest of forcing our idea of best, we end up neglecting the true needs of who we're supposed to be there for. If we really cared, we'll pay attention to the critical needs of what person requires.
It's not what we think is best for them. It's about what's best for them.
