Never try to change someone’s perception.

Always remember that trying to change someone’s perception is more difficult and more hurtful than digging up their ancestors’ graves.
Everyone’s perception is built gradually from their past experiences, horizons, social circles, and obsessions. It is their underlying logic for stability, their truth, and their dignity.
If you want to overthrow or correct it, essentially you are denying their past, questioning their choices, and destroying their self-identity.
People will only believe what they are willing to believe and will only live within the perception cage they have constructed.
Presenting facts, reasoning, and heartfelt honesty are not seen as kindness but as offenses, provocations, and sharp blades that make others uncomfortable.
Different perceptions do not require argument; incompatible worldviews do not need to walk together. There’s no need to wake someone pretending to sleep, no need to persuade the stubborn, and no need to force others to be in sync with you.
Allow others to be themselves, allow yourself to be yourself. Let go of the obsession with changing others. This is the highest level of adult clarity and the gentlest liberation for oneself.
