Sunny side

It irks me how some of the people out there claim to be open minded, and therefore feel it is necessary to shove their ideas down other people's throats. I understand that we're trying to show people the truths about the world, but it's a contradiction. These open minded people should realize that it's narrow minded of them to try and force these ideas down other, maybe close minded, people. People don't like to be told what to think, and I think we all need to accept that and respect it. It's hard for people who are still inside the box to imagine life outside the box...it's up to them to get themselves out of the box, not you. Sure, you can help and give them words of wisdom, but the change ultimately is up to the person and whether he/she is willing to do so.
