Throughout my schooling years I've witnessed so much change throughout my life. From the place I live, the school I go to, the friends I have, the change in me, and ,the most evident of changes, the changes of other people. All the people that I know, whether closely or not, have all met a fork in the road at some point in their lives. Sadly, I have witnessed way too many good people that have met that fork and took the wrong path down it. The paths of these forks are unfortunately one way roads, and once the choice is made, there is no coming back.
Once these good and innocent people go down these paths, one may think that there could be something they can do to get them back to being the good-hearted people they once were. However, there is nothing you can do. It is the most helpless feeling and it's a feeling that bothers me more and more often these days. I find myself wondering what I can do to help these people that are down that dark path, but all of my ideas are useless. There is nothing that one can do to save a corrupt mind. Once a person's mind works in this way, they see no wrong in what they do and are unconvinced by anyone telling them otherwise.
I believe it is my job, as a good person with good judgement, to at least attempt to save these people and show them that the life they're living now will only lead them further down the dark path and to worse things later in life so that I can at least say I tried and did everything I could to help them. Who knows? Maybe by just becoming friends with some of these people it will enlighten them and make them want to be good again. Of course, the only way I can see this happening is by not letting them change you and drag you down their path, but you would have to pick them up, change them, and show them where goodness can bring them in life. Unfortunately, I can only hope that this would work. If not, nothing ever will...
