WTF????

futile effort down the drain. TRUE FRIENDS NEVER GET IN YOUR WAY, UNLESS U HAPPEN TO BE GOING DOWN. you try to push a friend up, but she would rather let you carry her full weight, so what's the next best thing to do??

Pull the string it will follow you anywhere, Push it you'll never get anywhere!!! My mistake i guess for trying to motivate my friend with a "push". I would prefer to be under her instead of pulling her up (just in case the rope gives way, ill be able to catch my friend)but i guess too much convenience, too many safety nets make one complacent.

SUN TZU's Art of War puts it nicely, desperate men will fight to the death rather than be enslaved by the enemy so when uve trapped your enemy, give them an escape route not to let them run but to give them a false sense of freedom and escape.

I'm not a total advocate of the Art of War, yet in this case "BAHALA KA NA"
