These are the questions that make it the Mid-twenties slump?

As a result of a two hour phone conversation with an old friend, I need to ask the following:

What do you do when you find out someone you trusted and loved was essentially manipulating your life from multiple angles for several years by giving people inappropriate advice?

What do you do when your friend dates somebody you hate, someone you are afraid is only going to hurt them?

Do you give new people in your life a second chance, or is that only reserved for long term friends?

How do you forgive people? Do you forgive because somebody deserves forgiveness or only because it will be easier forget if you let it go?

How do you deal with crushes spanning several years?

Is it always better to tell somebody the truth?

Is it worth it to lose a friend over a relationship?

Is it worth it to lose a friend over a night of really amazing sex?

Am I only friends with people I was involved in the past because we didn't sleep together?

How come some people will always feel guilty, even if you tell them not too, and others will never feel guilty even when they should?

Should we actively work to improve our karma, or is karma a joke?

How far should you go for self preservation? Do you sacrifice common politeness and decency, or do you realize that you need to learn to function in the world as a kind person?

Is it ever ok - really ok - to punch someone in the face?
