Project of Compassion

be careful not to become someone’s project of compassion--- for there are those who find a way to fill themselves (the hole so deep & bleeding) up by taking care of another in such a manner that attachments may form between the project & the project coordinator (PC)--- where there had not been a hole, now one can be drilled so as to make the two co-dependent, where the PC needs the project to fulfill them & the project becomes dependent on the agency of the PC, forgetting themselves, forgetting their own individuality in the process & if the project does not come to fruition in exactly the way that the PC sees fit, they may throw a tantrum, which minutes ago did not seem possible, because they had been looked up to, they had been admired, they had been thought to be flawless? wise? capable of sustaining positive change inevitably? ahh, but they were only human the whole time.
