Can’t stop Others

Even when it is highly unnecessary..,
People will still get defensive,
Lecture,
Go on some form of power trip to (at least temporarily) try feeling better about themselves that they might excuse as “constructive criticism” (for example),

I can’t stop (whichever) others from basing their firmly established viewpoints on extremely limited personal experiences,
I can’t stop others from viewing the world as nothing more than “good versus evil” as in several types of action movies and TV shows they might be used to watching,
I can’t have others open up to the possibility of any forms of deeper understanding that just might (also) help make life feel far more worth experiencing,
?
And of course I can remind myself more of what I could also instead be practicing,

I can’t stop people from spreading misinformation that they might heavily regard as “The Facts”,

Even if people have good intentions and good spirit,
I can’t stop them from using it in ways that are misguided and that cause more harm than good,

Even if people know there’s something wrong,
I can’t stop them from brutally misunderstanding the situation and then blaming large amounts of innocent people,

Yet whatever it is,
Since I can’t stop them,
And as I often feel a need to remind myself,
I can just notice and (hopefully) develop inner peaceful acceptance,
As whatever internal feelings manifest and pass,

And of course,
When stuff “doesn’t feel worth it”,
As always,
I plan to keep sticking with it,
And hopefully developing and sustaining more and more,
Of an inner,
Peaceful Warrior Spirit
