Revelations

Anybody ever have a moment in their life where they've been put into turmoil over what they believe in and define themselves as? My guess would be a definitive yes on the matter. Recent events have led me to re-evaluate myself and the way I choose to live my life. Basically I'm being philosophical, or what others call 'confused.' I feel like that I've held people up to my level of morality too much, and that every person is different, so putting my own expectations in another's life is nothing short of preposterous. It seems that in some cases, no matter how good your intentions may be for another, and if you'd prefer that they didn't do something hazardous, it seems like they will inevitably take the hazardous bridge. It becomes a moral dilemna at the part where I ask myself if I should intervene or let them live their life. I'd much prefer to do nothing, everyone will learn from their own experiences, but the possiblity of the worst always pops into the back of my head, and I feel like I would blame the entirety of the incident upon myself. Overall, I feel as if I have no idea what to do, and that I should expect less, and try to be more empathetic towards others.
