Just finished up chapter three.

Chapter three deals with a whole bunch of questions we need to ask ourselves as individuals. Do we choose our friends wisely? Is nihilism while wallowing in self-pity and depression a convenient cop-out a bunch of us people choose to cling onto just to avoid life? Do we conveniently choose an existence over living?

Are we sincerely willing to help ourselves or somebody else, is each person genuinely taking the necessary steps to be helped? Does bringing a troubled person into a group setting, be it in the workplace or other spaces within our lives with the intention of helping them have more negative or positive results?

Are we being honest with ourselves and our intentions in caring for a friend? Is it about inflating our own ego or really taking the time to help a person we know really truly desires to be helped? Are we men and women of virtue or just virtue signalers?

All questions which require an honest introspection and reflection, all dealing with why/how we choose our friends and if they truly want to be helped. Do we honestly want to be helped ourselves? Do we genuinely take the necessary steps to produce positive changes within our lives and the lives of others ?
