Care when no one cares...has a meaning.

There are people you may be genuinely concerned from the bottom of your hearts. But they may never take you seriously for all the reasons that the world has to offer. That, notwithstanding the fact that each human has free will and thus the freedom to do what he or she chooses to do.
However, that may not necessarily be the best thing for them to do about themselves. Just like when kids don't listen to their parents, they may be reprimanded for the same. This may not be the best modus operandi of convincing someone, instead, its a coercion by the fear of force. Independence of decision making is vital to all human beings, but at times, its not a bad idea to trust someone's suggested course of action than one's own. Be it, the domain expertise or just the faith in someone, certain things can actually stop us from failing ourselves from our own decisions.

There are innumerable examples from History where great conquerors of the order of Alexander, Adolf Hitler and Bonaparte himself took a course of action borne out of what they felt was correct, which in the end went terribly wrong. Their ignorance of the suggestions of their comrades and top advisors meant nothing more than mere discouraging discourses.

So what exactly can one do if one sees someone who one loves and cares for in that same situation.

Its simple. Tell them what you feel and why you feel what you feel. But this is the next step after a degree of self analysis of the conceived course of action prior to suggestion. This is strongly recommended step since the degree of emotional bias as well as impulsive action and decision can sink ships and lose battles besides nations. At a micro level, relationships.

And if the person doesnt take you seriously, then..?

Simpler. Let them take their desired course of action. You did your bit and gave your opinion. Your job ends then and there. Even if you know that the person you love and care for is about to jeopardize everything he or she has, you simply cannot command another human being to do something that he or she is not obliged to do.
Once you have conveyed what you felt is the truth, then you have done your job well and carried out the responsibility that the 'System' gave you. For even if that person meets his or her end in not taking your thoughts seriously, you did what you could at its best by forewarning. Your job is done when you communicate something the other person may not adhere to. All the harm that comes to this person is not a function of a crisis management group from heaven, but solely the person who did what he shouldnt have.

We all are signalled for something good and evil. We then make a choice based on our intuitive ability, provided we have developed it over a period of time. In the suffering of the other person, there is always an attempt to rescue in which only 1 of 100 escape. Rest are consumed in the fire of Karma and destiny.

And then there is hope. Trusting and having faith in the 'System' makes a lot of sense minus the service charges actually. The learning that follows massive failure has its origins in small successes that become big ones in no time.

So if you love someone from the bottom of your heart and the person doesnt pay a heed, just sit back and relax. Their time for the hard learning of lessons from life has just begun.

Just make sure, you are there when there is no emergency support.

Best friends come handy when both our hands are gone...
