Old Friends

When people ask you how you are doing, do you tell them that you are doing well even when you are not? Is this partly because you don’t want to bother them with your troubles and partly because you suspect they really aren’t that interested? New friends will accept your answer, but old friends will dig deeper to find out what is wrong. If you perceive that the interest and intent are genuine you should tell them. They are only able to help insofar as they know the problem. I already know what is wrong but I still invite you to come and let us reason together. It must be addressed to be resolved.
