Thanks. Yes, we're squarely on the same page.

I think I misrepresented myself. I don't expect anything from anyone, in any setting, or I don't intend to change anyone. Who am I to expect to change someone?

I just wanted to say that, I behave the way which I want to be treated. I ask myself, "what would I feel if that's done to me", and if I don't like the answer, I change myself, and try to better myself step by step.

Actually "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz sums up pretty well how I live this life. It's a surprisingly thin yet dense book. I recommend it wholeheartedly.

Looks like we try to do the same things with slightly different methodologies. My hat's off to you dear sage internet stranger.

Wish a peaceful future awaits you.
