... of helplessness

Many a times I've seen my friends lost in pursuit of their dreams - to want, to be, to achieve. Or simply they don't feel well, or don't feel happy...

What should I do?

So often, I get lost myself. If I am a friend, a sibling, or even a stranger, is there anything I can do? Not as jester, not as comforter. And thus the point of "I don't have to" is the only logical conclusion. Wait. Wait for a change.

Well, I'm telling you it ain't comfortable. It's disconcerting to know someone's sad, and even more discomforting to wait. Anyone who has waited before knows how painful it is.

What should I do?
