What I'm talking about is watching someone utterly fail at life and make all the wrong decisions, and because they're not gonna take advice, you're powerless to stop their little personal apocalypse.
So as some of you might know, my one ex girlfriend is a drug addict. Despite everything I tried, nothing worked and we ended up separating and for a couple years I didn't interact with her at all. I didn't know if I would ever see her again, and then one day all the years of anxiety, depression and PTSD came flooding back in with an Instagram post by this one girl I know. In the photo, the girl is on a boat somewhere on the great lakes. Guess who was next to her? So I was shocked and I felt this usual sick feeling wash over me. My ex looks even more decimated as a person than she did in highschool. Indeed, 5 years of addiction can turn a Jon Bon Jovi into a Mick Jagger, and fate wasn't kind to her.
Have any of you ever been unfortunate enough to witness a friend or family member totally ruin their life and pass the point of no return? How did you deal with the stress it caused? Is it wrong to still care even when you know that person not only doesn't care about you anymore but doesn't care about themself either?
I'm sure this topic totally isn't gonna give anyone the feels

Yes. A very good friend from university. It’s hard to watch and even harder to know there’s nothing you can do. Because you can’t live their life and people only change their ways if the really want to and put the effort.
As to how I dealt with it? Well, I don’t think I ever did. He ended up committing suicide. As much as I mourned him in retrospect and as harsh as it will across, that may have been a blessing. He was on a fast track to death, suffering a lot and had no desire to stop. Death was a mercy.
Is it wrong to still care? No. Whatever happened, it was a person that had an effect on your life. Good or bad, in the end, it was someone you loved and you don’t want harm to come to them, not really.

The only thing worse than when someone dies is when they go on living to a point that life itself is pain. A person can die inside while still being very physically alive, and that's what really shakes me up

Deep down, I don't want to work if I don't have to. And I find life meaningless for the most part. I perhaps don't have anything I want to be. The only reason for a career or job, is to get enough of an income to survive off of. If I managed to strike it rich, of course I'd quit and try to live off of the proceeds and never contribute to society.
You could simply buy a woman (not in a literal sense) amongst other things, if you're rich enough.

When they're clearly destroying their health and relationships with others and the grim reaper is just around the corner, that's how you know they failed their whole existence.

Is that, in fact, clear to us on the outside? And who are we to determine that as a fail state? If I decided that the best use of my life was to maximise my pleasure without directly harming others, who would you be to criticise my ensuing heroin addiction?
