Found on the Internet: Food for Thought

I think this image says a lot. I presently know someone who's allowing a not-so-significant other govern their life choices. Anyone on the outside can see it's a relationship that shouldn't last; if it does, it will cause considerable harm to the one I know. But how much can you say to someone that doesn't want to hear anything? How often can you point out the imbalance of priorities before you just stop being able to care?

The thing is, when we're left standing on the outside of a friend's relationship, there's only so often we can voice concern before we realize how little influence we really have. It's so much easier to walk away than it is to stay and try to tolerate the intolerable.

Life's too short to be anyone's consolation prize.
