when you reach out...you leave too many vulnerable parts of the body exposed. Also it has a tendancy to leave the body a bit unbalanced...seldom will you find somebody who will help to keep you from falling. Then when you have fallen and they trip over the body...it will be your fault for causing them discomfort.

They trip over the fallen because they did not reach out and steady you.

They blame the fallen so they don't have to look at their clumsy mistake.

People will fall.

Others can't prevent it.

But you dear place, deserve friends that will hold your hand through the pain, help you stand back up when you're steady and wait with you while you heal.

However long it takes.

Here's my hand...
