The pure and simple truth is rarely pure and never simple

Where does the responsibility of friendship begin and where does it end?

How much are we responsible for the actions of others and how much can we determine them?

What is to be done when you thing that a friend is mistaking? Tell? Criticise? Do we have the power to tell what is right and what is wrong? And most of all, when not knowing all insights, how can we tell if a set of actions is right or wrong?

Is our own behaviour a benchmark for the behaviours of others? And if yes, is it not only our subjectivity towards the own person that makes us think that we have the position to judge?

It is not my story to tell. And not my life to lead. And definitely not my feelings to feel.

But I can't help but asking: Is it not a sign of cowardness that I don't accept this responsibility?
