Where is that someone?


Cynics see in me an upper-middle class do-gooder.
I can not disagree on the first.
I am upper-middle class.
As for the second, well I like to be there for whoever I think needs the kind of support I can offer.
If that is the definition of a do-gooder then I absolutely fit the bill.
There is that one condition when it comes to humans.
They have to approach me.
Unwanted support, however much needed can become an inconvenient load.
Particularly when it comes with the manic tenacity I bring with it.
Often they are done, they have given up and want to get on with their lives, but I can not let go.
I still continue to persist in my efforts for the 'right' closure.
The 'system' also wants to move forward. It is inconvenient to answer questions, to take on people in the same system that one belongs to.
I understand that. But still expect foolishly that someone will do it.
Someone with dedication, belief and faith.
Someone with self-respect.
Some ideals would also be welcome.
That kind of someone mostly is difficult to find.
But I keep hoping against hope that I will find that someone.
