Good advice...those who get it, just get it, even the ones who choose not to live it. And those that don't get it, either accept the right of others to choose for themselves, or they do not, and no amount of explaining will make someone realize their way is not the only way. That's something that comes with age and experience, and apparently they aren't old enough or haven't have the experiences supporting that wisdom.
That was the hardest life lesson for me to learn-that others do not perceive things the same way as I do, and they will not behave the way I think they ought to...but that is their right, and I have to accept it. My choice comes in whether I choose to have that kind of person around me or not, and that's where it ends.
Judgements are not something any of us have the right to make in a very situational thing like this.
