Interfere

Why do I feel the need to help someone in need ? I walk up to the person and tug the ropes, the more I try, the tighter they get. I try desperately to help, but it doesn't work. Giving up is not an option but helping was not the solution. I made it worse. Maybe I should have just stayed back. I let go. The strings stop fighting back. The creature quivers with fatigue and sinks down... The ropes hang loose..

I won't touch what doesn't beckon me. The complications are far too many to be sorted out under philosophies and understanding. I will now respond only to the call of need, not need itself. Maybe the creature was meant to be that way.
