Have you ever been trusted by someone or everyone? and if you have did you ever take the time and ask yourself if you by keeping the secrets, and lies, and stories, and facts, romances about that person that maybe oneday you'll breakdown because it may mean that you know too much and it's killing you to see that person or that person they were talking about or you hurt? and even before that you give them advice and later you seem to wonder if your advice was good enough to help that person from making a bad dession or choosing to do something they might regret later? Or did you maybe tell that person something nice and in return you make a friend or have a girlfriend/boyfriend? did you ever wonder if maybe you, could acctually change the future of that one or many people becuase of what you said to them? and then after that you ask yourself if it would better you? would it make you a better person or if you would get anything in return? and did you get anything in return? contiued.....

By World i mean that there is no world becuase there is only your own individual worl and if you save someone by this, would it make a difference? because techniacly you saved that one persons world.
I'm sorry if this sounds a little weird but if you can concentrate a little or a lot answer this and let others know about it 'cause I need to know from a lot of different people.

Yes, one man can make a difference. It sounds like you are working harder at your friend's relationship then they are. You need to stop helping when that happens because you are then an enabler. You are helping you friend to rely on others instead of figuring out solutions on their own. They should also decide if they need to be doing what they need so much help with.They may not be mature enough for it yet. Keep helping others and yes, you will feel good about yourself. Remember to take time for yourself and do what you like and allow your friend to grow and mature. Never,never expect anything in return. You are giving of yourself to fulfill a need that is within you and to help people. If you expect something from the people you help, you may be expecting more than they are able to do!

Yes, sometimes one man can make a difference. But if you go around always worrying about being a hero, or second guessing every conversation, wondering if you said the right thing, worrying about making mistakes, you will drive yourself crazy. Relax, be a good friend, honest, trustworthy, but willing to take the problem to someone else if it's too big for you. That in itself, setting a good example, makes a huge difference in the world.

Yes I have been trusted by someone. if I give advice it is from my heart, I don't tell anyone something that I don't feel is true.and if that person takes my advice and it doesn't turn out , I know I was honest in giving it. I don't try to change anyone i only try to be their friend and always be honest weather it hurts or not.The best thing I could ever get in return is,, their honest friendship.

Sure one person can make a difference. One person can be someones hero. What you should be concerned about is trying to play hero to someone who is just using you. Everything you do in this world matters one way or another.

yes one person can inspire another to be a better person or find redemption-
two books you might like,different seasons by stephen king, it is short stories and the rita hayworth story or shawshank redmption story is in there, and the assistant by bernard malamud is a beautiful novel about redemption and I highly recommend it

Don't give advice. Listen and try to help people make up their own damn minds by offering your perspective on what they are talking about.

i think one man CAN make a difference, maybe not to the world but definitely to one persons world.

Choices should not be made by deciding right or wrong, but what is BEST for that situation. Good Luck
