I am drained by my brother. I do not know if what I am doing right now is the right thing to do. By telling him all the consequences of his decisions and asking him to make a choice from there, at the same time knowing very well what his choice will be, I am also telling myself the consequences that I have to face should things turn out bad. What if he gets into an accident? What if he the other party he signed the papers with decides to make things difficult for him? What if he refuses to let go of that car in 2 months' time?

To certain extent, I think he will deserve every bad consequence if any of them were to happen. But I do not know if I will or if I should feel bad because I had the power to put a stop to it right from the beginning. Or do I? I was just talking to mum just now and I realised, as I was telling her, that he could have gotten that car behind our backs if he wanted to. So that would mean that I do not really have the power to stop him, wouldn't it?

I wonder what it would take for him to learn his lesson. When will he ever learn to make wise decisions and to listen to advice? So many people from so many different backgrounds have given him sound advice on what he should do and he has been presented with so many examples of others who have gone through this path and crawled out wounded. Yet he must still insist on taking that path. He is SO typical of the type of person who simple must go through it to know it and just by listening and seeing is not good enough.

Two months. We will wait for 2 months and we shall see how things go. I do not know what will happen in 2 months' time. Of course I hope that he will make it big and earn the money to return to mother. I just cross my fingers that he will learn from this.
