People are set in their ways reguarding religion, spirituality, meaning of life or general views of it. Most won't change and if they do it will be on their own volition. So dont waste your time trying to change anyone.
If your goal is to rule or control others, it is a petty thing and you will run into much resistance.
Each must choose for themselves. This is part of God's system. On the other hand, Life is about change and change does happen.
Let's look and see what God does. God places knowledge around us all. It waits to be Discovered. There is nothing forced.
I have changed countless number of people in my lifetime. Let me point the way:
Every time I see them, I place Truth in their lives and point them in the right direction. I never get angry regardless of their choices. I merely move a grain of sand every time we interact. It's so simple.
Moving a grain of sand, one can move a mountain given enough time. In time, people do change, however they will say it was their idea all along. That's perfectly OK! Any glory one might think one deserves is mostly wasted energy spent.
One must remain open with a wide view. Interaction is multi-sided. In a multilevel classroom. we learn from each other. In trying to change others, we might Discover it is us who needs to change. This might indeed happen.
Are we all hard headed? Do we all know it all? Perhaps this stems from being taught and conditioned that we should never fail. The side one might be missing is that more is learned around failure than at almost any other time. We learn what not to do.
In conclusion, Life is about Learning, Growing, and Change. Since Interaction is part of this, one should never find excuses not to interact. So many avoid Drama, yet Drama is where the Learning Lives.
God gave everyone a different view to guarantee mankind a larger view than any one person could have. Let's Interact, Point, Teach, Place Truth in the world, and Lead each other to that Higher Level. You never know what you might say to someone that will change them or allow someone else to change them down the road.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
