« So you feel driven by a great ideal of fairness and
generosity, and you want this ideal to become a reality in the world? That’s
very good, but it’s not enough. If you do not adopt the right attitude, you
will be bound to come up against certain people around you who do not want to
listen, and after a while, seeing that you are not managing to convince them
despite the soundness of your arguments and the effort you are making, you will
end up discouraged and bitter. So how should you go about it? Quite simply,
leave others alone, don’t try to convince them at all costs, but continue to
learn and to improve yourself… That way, gradually, whenever you have to spend
time with them, you will impress them with your self-control, your lucidity and
the clarity of your arguments, and they will feel you have something to teach
them.
So long as you desperately try to show people who refuse to
listen that they are on the wrong path, not only will you not succeed, but you
will sink with them into muddy terrain. Work with the light, and one day when
they meet you, before you even open your mouth they will understand that you
are in the right. »
