Beautiful, I feel that I have run into this same territory recently. In my case it was a feeling that I needed to extend this to a lot of people in my life, to just let everyone be who they are. I can sometime have a ferocious soul, which can tolerate but not accept self destruction and ignorance. So there's a whole journey there in softening up and learning acceptance.

Sometimes we can logically see how someone could heal themselves, but it doesn't really do any good to make expectations. Just like you, I learned that that someone can only do it for themselves. And strangely people tend to be less likely to do things when we tell them to do them.

Awesome article, rich ground for exploration :)
