Ideally, everyone would be able to respect each other and accept when someone chooses a different path. But we all tend to think that what helps us so muich would also help someone else, and so we want to share what we have. And not everyone is a perfect listener when someone says that what we are offering is not what they are looking for. I tend to think that if I presented it just right, people would be able to see the value in it. But we need to know when to back off and just listen, not try to solve someone else's problem. Just like any other problem someone might present us with. Most of the time they don't need us to fix it for them, but we tend to want to try anyway.
