(Dear self. It is not your job to fix everything, save everyone, help everyone. And many people cannot be helped, do not want to be helped, and if you help them you will of necessity bear the risk of failing in helping them. So just as we are better off letting sleeping dogs lie, it is sometimes better to leave troubled people alone, rather than end up bearing the consequences of helping them.)
