I’ve never been very
good at ignoring a problem. Once I am
aware of it, I have this innate need to try and fix it. This is a great attribute with regards to
physical objects. If something in our
home breaks I’m on top of it. I can duct
tape it, hot glue it, putty it, paint it, clean it, caulk it, you name it, and
I’ll find a way to repair the damaged object.
As a last resort, I’ll even call in a professional or if absolutely
necessary, replace the item.
Problems with people are
not so easy to repair, nor is it easy to know when to stop trying. I’ve come to believe that just like a broken
chair, some relationships cannot be mended.
You can say the right words but if the other person ignores them, it is
as if you haven’t spoken at all.
It’s
like trying to fix a wooden chair leg with Elmer’s glue…it’s not going to work.
