You poke and prod and attempt to stamp your brand on everyone who stands in your way.
They yell in pain and retaliate against the burning phrase and ideals you force upon them. I hear your screams at them, "I'm right here. This is the right path, this is my path so it must be right!" Like a child. Tantrum.
But is it the "right" road, just because you say so? Or does the fear of walking alone mean denying others their freedom to choose which way to step? I know it hurts to see them inflict close-minded pain unto others. But, by hurting them...it alienates them to change.
Stop firing bullets of hatred at those you say are causing the trouble. They can't hear you with the assault overwhelming their senses.
Be calm. A reflecting pool of love for them to learn from. By example.
After all, we'll all end up in the same field of forever...some will just take longer to open their hearts to acceptance.

Thx, friend. It originally derives from some inspirational teachings of Lao Tzu :)
