Just who do THEY think THEY are?

In going along with my post from yesterday, I think one of the saddest things is when you can see another person's greatness and they can't. Sitting back, watching someone flail around and thinking that they are so much better than that. I guess it's all a part of finding one's self, but sometimes I just want to smack people upside the head with a brick to get them to realize how awesome they are. They may not be able to do that, however, with a major concussion.

Case in point--I have a facebook friend that I knew very well in high school. Years have passed and I no longer "know" him. I can tell from his posts that he is on such a destructive path. And he is so much better than that. Considering one's personality is pretty much set by age six, I highly doubt that someone that was truly a unique and wonderful person twenty years ago has changed all that much. Meaning, he is still unique and wonderful. I can tell by his posts that he doesn't think that about himself. That is sad.

How about you? Is there anyone that you can reach out to and tell them gently, "Hey, you're better than you think you are." Maybe someone you know, it may be the person in the mirror.
