I said what I said because I wanted you to think about doing something for yourself, instead of relying on the world fixing whatever is wrong on its own. I said it a little bluntly, as I was fairly drunk at the time. The intention of my words was for your own good, not to hurt you. Remember what I said about saying what I think people should hear, not what they want to hear? I believe you agreed.

I would develop a longer and more comprehensive post, but for fear of treading on some toes I'm going to stay silent..
