I consider the phrase “one step forward and two steps
back” very appropriate for anyone engaged in a difficult progression. When one
challenge rises, it may be overcome only to reveal another more complex and
devastating.
Friendship, I am learning, qualifies thus.
Also, it is sobering to discover that my counsel on matters
that I have some measurable
credibility with, means absolutely nothing to someone determined to be a fool.
It makes attempting the next step forward much less attractive.
Which means, perhaps I should let others try that step
first.
