Why are we always torn between what we know is right and what other people think is best for us? Is it because "people" are given too much credit as a result of our own self-doubt, questioning, or disillusionment? Do we somehow think someone on the outside, granted also rather close, still, not inside our souls, can see things more clearly because they are not "blinded" by our emotions? If it's someone who cares very deeply for us, should we trust that their intentions are pure and only protective? Or is it reasonable to believe they could also be selfishly motivated...
There is a different type of person - one which I have only run across two times in my life - my grandma and Fabian. We understand eachother, but rarely does the one we are with. We try not to think less of the person and excuse them because they just don't know, but the stress and resentment typically builds and it festers in their minds ~ again, the key point to understand on this one is what their motivation is. Additionally, will the inclusion of that person in your life hinder you from what you feel is right because you don't want to hurt them or disappoint them... Sacrifice, compassion, empathy, self-lessness - is that so terrible? Is it so hard to comprehend as a way of life? It is a lot more healthy than you'd think...
