What right do you have to choose for someone else when and how they should think? Or how to feel?
Sorry, I just realized that sounded harsh. I wrote that hastily, did not mean to be so blunt or sound accusatory. What I meant was, I used to do this very thing for pretty much everyone in my life. I could not understand why they could not see my rationale for why they should do or think or feel the same as me. But sooner or later I realized it wasn't working and that really, it is not my job to decide how another person should perceive something.
