There are only so many times that you can offer to help and be refused before you don’t offer help anymore.

There are only a limited number of occasions where you sincerely offer your forgiveness to someone else until you become indifferent (indifference is the opposite of love).

When we are being offered support and help and compassion and kindness repeatedly from a certain direction it’s worth realising that one of these times that we decline it might be the last time that we’re offered it.
