ketchup please... (ehem!)

to enforce an opinion is a totally different thing. one is entitled to his own personal views, his own beliefs or his own principles. but to force the issue and to blatantly enforce your opinion to others as if implying that those who are at odds with your beliefs are wrong and impure is a show of total disrespect. you are crossing the line between a mere expression of an opinion and being self-righteous. and you have absolutely no right to do that! yes, you have the freewill to remind us. but if others don’t listen, do you have to force them (by mere threat!) to follow what the “purest” of your heart and spirit desire? if they happen to be hardheaded (as most people in this damn world are!), if they happen to have different perspectives of what is good and what is bad or of what is acceptable and what is not, let them be. let them enjoy, even suffer the consequences of their choices. let them learn and mature on their own. let them live their lives. and you don’t have to blame yourself for whatever be the results of their choices because you in the first place have reminded them. beyond that, you have no right to force the issue. absolutely!
