frustration

I've been frustrated lately. I've seen things going on that i don't like with people that i respect. i've noticed that these people take and take and take. they've been taking for years. now it's time for them to give. it's their turn, they've got the experience, the knowledge, and the widsom to give to the less fortunate. but they still take. and it really frustrates me because these people should be mature enough to either deal with their problems on their own or to ask for help. yet they sit back, moping, letting their problems run their lives. when i try to talk to these people to see what's going on with them they completely shut me out. i'd be offended if i wasn't so unamused and starting to lose interest. i say to them, "you're a grownup. snap out of your selfish mode and help out the kiddies who actually need help."
