heartache

Its the old old question, I suppose. Are people more important than things like work? The obvious answer is Yes, but like so many other things in this life, saying a simple yes would mean forgetting that there are no easy answers for everything all the time. You'd use this answer for one person, and then forget all about it with another. Fair to the core, we all are.
Is it better to agree with everything someone else wants done, whether or not that is in any way compatible with how you want things to function? Especially when it means nothing great to them. There is no positive from the situation, but turning it down leads to a lot of negative anyhow. And what really hurts is that it feels like no one really cares about what you are going through in the process. Is there any sympathy anywhere? For just one moment instead of logical analysis of the rights and wrongs, is it possible to just say that it'll be ok, and that there is someone who will stand by you? Fine, no need to pander to maudlin depression, but once in a long while, when there is that need to comfort, why is there no one you can turn to?
