Many times we get caught up worrying about the spec in our companions eye meanwhile we have tree trunks in both of our eyes. People tend to fall in the category of hearing about the struggles their friends face then quickly shift their focus to indulging in that companions dilemmas. This can lead to you unknowingly doubling your issues.
You already have enough baggage on your plate. There is no need to drown yourself in another persons issues when you are overwhelmed with your own. Life comes with enough trials and heart ache, no need to place yourself in a position where you are not only trying to fix your own problems but now you are carrying someone else's burden that was never meant for you to hold.
It is a kind gesture to help a friend in need but when it comes to the point you are being weighed down by others problems then it is certainly time for a reality check. Do yourself a favor and let go. Think about it, if you can barely manage your own load why would you take on someone else's?
You can love a person without carrying their problems, you can allow a person to verbalize their offenses without carrying their controversy. Do yourself a favor and stop carrying unnecessary baggage.
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Hebrews 12:1"
