Do you believe it's okay to pressure another to convert to your way of thinking? I don't, yet this very thing has been happening since the dawn of spirituality. It's a very troubling practice indeed.  |
this is exactly how me and my friend with autism fell apart.
she kept pressuring me to believe what she believed, at any moment she got- would use that moment to try and make me see it her way
she eventually stopped talking to me because I wouldn't believe what she did, and likewise.
it's not okay. we are all our own person.
I do have a more triggering story about this (involving someone else), not sure if i'm ready to post about it
