I doubt anyone on this site will shed a tear if I drink myself silly, gamble my way to the poor house or cheat my way to a date with the IRS – why Andy.
Actually I bet almost all of us would shed more than a tear if you were one of our close friends. I suspect that most of us have had someone that we loved and cared about make devastating bad choices. The fact that it was their own doing does not make it easy on those that care for the person. It can be a heart wrenching, kick in the gut. It is not like you can just shrug your shoulders, turn your back, and walk away as though the person never meant anything. At least not if they were ever your friend in the first place.
