Expecting others to be with us and to do as we say, is the main reason for increasing our mental tension and complicating our lives. The solution to this problem lies in doing our work silently and let others carry on in their own way. Do not try to dominate any one. Also, do not waste invaluable time and energy in trying to please everyone.It is useless to desire that others should listen to us only, act only on what we say, should be interested in us only and co-operate with us only. This desire is not only wrong, but also harmful. To depend emotionally on others is not beneficial at all.
