I realise empathy and concern for others is a human weakness, when you ponder about it when its not worth thinking about, as it causes a lot of distress. As i take the path christ laid out to me, I know the full consequences of deviating from christ. Christ is the very thing that got me through college. There is a lot of distractions. For instance i lived in an apartment near my campus. There was this girl who was my junior, who used to live two doors next to me. I was concerned for her cause she associated with the wrong crowd. I told her to stay away she wouldn't listen said she be fine. One night from my balcony, I saw her being dragged by some guy, drunk, over to her apartment. I was extremely concerned. I asked her next morning if everything was alright, she started crying and said i was right, she should have listened to me, she was sorry. Then, i didnt see her the next day or the day after. I asked the students, said she dropped out. I couldn't get over it. I felt guilt cause i felt i could have done something and helped her out little more . I realised there is nothing i couldn't do. It just happens. You see things its not in your control, there is nothing you can do about it.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trust me you can talk and tell people until you are blue in the face, but if they don't listen or hear what you are saying then your right its nothing you can do. I have concern for others as well, but you cant help people that don't want to help themselves. In my opinion if I would have seen her being dragged drunk over into her apartment, I would have called someone or went over there to make sure she was good. I'm sure you had your reasons for not doing anything at the moment but in the end there was nothing you could really do! The college life is not for everyone and you have to be disciplined to get through it..
