So I tend to be selective in my everyday world, if someone wants actual help with something, that is fine, but at the same time I am mindful as to whether I am encouraging dependence, such as my old neighbour, who if you gave him any money, he would just ask for more and more, no matter how much you gave him, as he was addicted to cigarettes.
Hey John,

Thanks for reminding me about those, as I remember such one in my life too. The best thing we can do about them is to either change them in the core, or cutting all the connections to them and leaving them alone. I did the second for that person, mainly because I wasn't the person I am right now and he was quite disturbing to me. He still is not the type of person I'd like to hang out with.

With love,
