A monologue
Why people ultimately do not get along
Does not require a genius to figure out
In every situation, put yourself in the other person’s shoes
And see things from her perspective
What is good for you may not be good for her
No matter how much you think you are correct
May not appear so to her who makes a personal decision
In fact, overstepping the line of her freedom
Is an utter disdain and disrespect to her
Dispense your advice but do not insist
Give your views and no more
Be gentle and not grating
Then step away and let her nature take its course
She would start to mull over what you have said somehow
She would decipher what is the preferred approach
She would draw nearer to you if she wants to
That is the moment of openness, trust, and acceptance
That is the moment to render your unbearable urge to help
Meanwhile, repel, refrain, and resist the temptation to change others
Do not ask to be snubbed
Leave things be and know when you are not needed
Everything will be alright.
