paths of life

we're starting at a certain point... somewhen. not with the same preconditions, but still with potential. what is it that distinguishes each other if it comes to attitudes such as moral, ambition or will power? that leads our life in different directions, that makes our life more or less painful or desperate? why can't you reach people and put them on the right track? sometimes i wish it would be possible... and then again it's all about trust and confidence. everyone can be proactive and solve life issues. and it's easier with the help of his/her friends.
