Write Off

Writing someone off is to remove them from your life, like the malignant tumor you feel they are.

Writing someone off should be considered a last resort. There are all sorts of treatments for cancer, but it really depends on how much you want to fight. If you have the energy to go through another round of chemotherapy for that specific Scunthorpe in your life, perhaps you can avoid surgery.

If you must resort to the surgical solution, the minute you can finally stop caring about that person, you feel a great weight drop from your shoulders. By writing someone off, you are taking control of your life, and removing negative influence. You no longer have to consider the cancer's feelings or respect them.

You made the effort you felt appropriate. You hopefully tried your best to reason with your cancer. If the cancer remains harmful, opt for the scalpel.

Cancers sometimes re-surface, and they have a way of forcing you to deal with them. You already cut them out, so resorting immediately to the scalpel is understandable. Just keep in mind they may not be malignant so watch for a White Flag.

I try to cure my cancers directly, by talking to them. I don't make assumptions about their intentions, I read what they write and listen to what they say. If we can reach some sort of understanding, surgery can be avoided.

My personal view on this is very swift and brutal. If you have any doubt in your mind of me writing you off, I am not writing you off. You will be left with no doubt that I am giving you one last chance to redeem yourself.
