So here's a thought...
Would you let a family fail rather than tell them how important their relationships are to each other?
What if telling people how important those relationships were hurt the feelings of people who don't have those relationships?
A brave woman I once knew talked about the shame of being a drunk driver who crashed her car. She was given a very harsh sentence because of it.
She said about her own story that when she first got the DUI she was afraid to tell anyone. But now that she sees what her actions caused, and more importantly what they could have caused, she wants to tell everyone. Preventing people from harm was more important than the shame they might feel over their own alcoholic habits, bar ownership, or drunk driving.
I am sensitive to those that do not or cannot have those relationships, but I cannot stand silent while those relationships are threatened elsewhere. If we do nothing that only adds to the misery and loss.
