Roles

What sort of role do I want to play in the lives of others? Do I want to change how my friends feel and think? Do I want to be someone they admire and long to see? Do I want to be invited to their parties? Do I want them to dedicate their novels to me and have me to their children's bar and bat mitzvahs? Do I want to serve as their conscience? Do I want them to trust me? Do I want them to remember things that I say, write them in their diaries, claim them as their own? Do I want them to make dinner for me? Do I want them to think me good or strong or uplifting or wise? Do I want them to trust me? What sort of role do I want to play in my own life?
