Waldo   96 #1 Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Sorry for being vauge here, small world, don't want to reveal too many details etc.  A friend of mine, has recently become involved with a group of people, and they're violent types. They feel 100% justified in being how they are. But, they don't realise that they're being manipulated by a ring leader, who is profiting from the groups' violent activities.  This leader dude, is very very clever and decietful.  Anyhow, my friend is dead set on enlightening and educating the group, and getting them to see the ways in which they're being manipulated and brainwashed by this leader dude.  I think he (my friend) should leave well alone, just walk away and just let them get on with it; there's no profit in educating thugs after all, is there?

Waldo   96 #3 Posted February 23, 2012 Also a saying "don't throw pearls to swine" which is meaning you should not waste time trying to educate those who are no capable of seeing the truth. It is better to leave people in ignorance. This is a hard lesson for my friend to learn.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
