Sometimes you see a way to help people, and you really want to do it! You try many different ways to show them that what you’re suggesting for them to do will be for the best, but all of your efforts are for naught. Has that ever happened to you?
That happened to me recently. I really put a lot of effort into making something happen, but the people involved just weren’t interested. When I began to realise that fact, I started to get angry. How could they not see that this thing was THE WAY TO GO!
It didn’t take me more than twenty minutes or so to release that anger though. Hey, its their life to live, not mine. I have tried to show them, and now its up to them to make the decision. I’ve decided that I will just accept whatever they choose. You know the saying… you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t force it to drink.
Thats just how life is sometimes… 
not knowing the situation, its hard to comment.. but I’ve had a lot of people try to convince me that their way was ‘the way’… you just gotta let people do their own thing, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t… thta’s life
If they asked your opinion, then the least they could do would be to give it the attention it deserves. Even if your input wasn’t solicited, it wouldn’t have hurt them to listen.
Still, Lisa is right. Ya gotta make up your own mind. Don’t let it bother you. You did everything you could to set them on the right track.
Unsolicited help can be interpreted as ‘interference’ so, though you mean well it just may be better you back off and see what happens.
If you let a person know that you have some knowledge or activity you know of that can help make some aspect of their life better, but leave it open for them to come and ask for the help it may likely be more appreciated — even if they choose to not take your help.
Ditto to all above. You haffi allow people fe live dem rass life rude bwoy…even if it is obvious that what you are suggesting is the better or right way to go. Life to rass.
