“Observe how difficult it is to change yourself and you will understand how naive it is to try to change another person.” (Voltaire)
You cannot change another person. You might persuade or inspire another person. But you cannot change another person. EVER.
Most of the world’s evil and dysfunctional insanity rests on this faulty premise. Past and present. In families, marriages, governments, cultures — this is THE problem.
Accept you will never change another person, focus on yourself and set yourself free.
