This coming from someone who was bound and determined for thirty-five years that if everyone would just DO WHAT I WANTED THEM TO then everyone would be super happy and nothing would ever go wrong in life. Turns out people have free will and are not just puppets in the play of my life. I have found it is better for me to accept others exactly as they are and not how I wish they were. And it would it seem that they appreciate this as well.
