The futility of trying to alter others.
No one likes the voice of authority, whether from others or from our own mind.
Let others be.

Telling
It’s funny how good we are at telling others what to do, say, think, how to behave, what to eat, how to speak, what to wear, what job to do, and so on. We never run out of an opinion.
Yet when we are on the receiving end of others telling us we do not like it. We feel restricted, we feel coerced, we fell controlled. Strange that we then do that internally to ourselves too, the voice of authority that the mind uses.
If we live free from forming opinions of others and ourselves, we live free and we allow others the same.
Don’t tell just be.
