We will eventually realize that it is never others who need convincing, but rather ourselves who once longed for recognition.

When you are no longer obsessed with changing others, it's like untying the ropes of self-bondage, and instead you can appreciate the world with greater ease. After all, roses do not have to grow into pines and cypresses, seagulls do not need to understand penguins, the world is wonderful because of the differences.

Life is like a wilderness, some people go south to meet the flowers, some people go north to meet the snow and ice. A truly transparent person knows how to smile and nod when views collide, and how to build bridges instead of filling in the gaps in knowledge.

And like-minded friends and all-night long talk, on the words of people do not agree with a laugh away. When we let go of the idea that we must persuade anyone, we open up a wider dimension of life, where there is no black and white argument, but only the beauty of the variations.
