help or hurt

It seems that too many things in life that are supposed to help us and up hurting us. They come up with these wonderful medications that are supposed to cure illness, but cause more problems in the way of side effects. Some decide they don't care because the desired result is worth more to them than the possible pain.

Others don't even try because of what could happen to them.

I think that the ideal lies somewhere in the middle.

I went through some hurtful things because I wanted a mom. I could have stayed angry and alone. Had I known more, I may have been stronger and able to find that middle ground.
