No matter how much you try, and no matter how good you are, some people will depart from you at one time or the other. A prunning shear came and separated Lot from Abraham, "and Lot journeyed east; and they separated themselves one from the other".
If you are on the right path , do not be afraid of anyone who wants to leave you. Be at peace with yourself and everyone. Do not manipulate anyone to stay with you. As long as they remain, it might be unbearable for both of you. When some people go, many will come and replace them. Hold your peace, let those who decide to leave you go happily. If your Lot must go, let him go early. It is for your uplifting.
Be matured enough to greet them. Give them gifts if it's within your capacity.
