Fairy Thought

Accepting the behavior and the opinions of our friends as legitimate for them allows our relationships to teach us tolerance and patience and love.
Our journey on this planet is not about "fixing" or controlling others, but about loving them wholly, just as we want to be loved.
We need other people.
Our humanity is enhanced by our mutual experiences.
But we also need to let others learn from their mistakes and their own experiences, rather than to help them avoid what they need for their growth.
