I encourage you to be patience, compassionate, not demanding in any way. And I share one other learning that has been most helpful to me: I can only help those who would receive my help, I can only give to those who are ready, willing, and able NOW to receive what I have to give. My acceptance of this apparent " reality " has brought me much peace and has helped me gain considerable discernment about when, where, and with whom I share my knowledge and experience. I hope this information and perspective are constructive and helpful. YES, you're right, it's just hard to see someone you care about slowly killing themselves I will try to put things in the perspective you shared...it is true...you can only help the willing ...those who are open to the information. I saw the same 'problem' when I used to try to explain the virtues of unschooling to people. So I just need to think of sharing info about 'true nutrition/raw food' the same way I've learned to think of sharing info about 'true learning' Now I can sort of sense who is open and truly interested vs those who are unable/unwilling to *see* any other way than the one they've always known....and they are perfectly happy with that even those it's not working well for them. Thanks for the gentle reminder... xoxo, denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
