Fix you

When I watched a movie, there were moments when I got annoyed with the actors' behavior. For example, when I think, the actor is supposed to communicate it, but the actor left without talking, I was like “huh?” I got annoyed and had urge to fix it. Unfortunately, I could not tell them what they were supposed to do. The movie played following the script.

I often see life like a movie. People as the actors and life as the scenes. Just like when I watched a movie, when I saw people taking the wrong path, I tended to want to fix it. But I restraint it. I always remind myself; it is not my responsibility to fix broken people.

People have their own heart and mind. Whatever they do, they are responsible for their actions. Unless they ask for my advice, I better keep quiet.

I saw that people try to change someone to become what they expected. But I learned changes can only happen from the inside. Forces to change will only grow resentments.

I have stopped trying to change someone and see a person just as who they are. I always keep this in mind:

"I am not telling you what to do."

Because I know people’s behavior rooted from their experiences and habits. It will never change unless they genuinely want it.
