as another round of med interviews are taking place, i am being bombarded with requests for assistance. i must admit that this has beeen pretty annoying, on account of it's repetitive nature and the amount of hours that i have spend helping others.
but taking a step back, i realize that being able to help others is quite a privilege, especially when those others are your friends. it means that they trust you enough to ask for your advice, and it means that you have an opportunity to (hopefully) improve their overall utility in some way.
i have an inkling that the opportunities to help my friend will diminish in the future as our lives become burdened with more responsibility, and having to say no to a genuine request for assistance would be far worse than whatever annoyance i feel now.
