Do you try to change others?

Tweet

It is very likely that all of us have been guilty of this at one time or another, and perhaps have lost friends because of it. As we grow older though, we begin to realize that not only is this something that can't be done, but also something that we should never want to do. Each of us is on our own journey and must learn about life in our own unique way. This is not to say we can't give advice, especially when it's asked for, because then it is the other person's choice. We can of course offer advice about life in general, but it remains true that actions speak louder than words. There is however, one thing that we can do and that is change the way we see others. It is human nature to see fault, if you are an artist for example, and there is one mistake in your drawing or painting, that is what you will see every time you look at it. The fact that 99 percent of it may be perfect makes no difference to us, it's the mistake that we always notice. In the same way, people have both good and bad points and like us, will change during the course of their lifetime. Lets remember to maximize the good in others and minimize what we think of as wrong, then we have changed the way we see that person, which in reality is about all that we can do. What are your thoughts?
