    Missing the decades in which they tried persuading, debating, discussing and educating up to this tipping point, this final straw, all to no avail.

    Are we supposed to just keep trying forever, pointlessly? Exhaustingly? Every day? For another 30 years?

    At some point for our own mental wellbeing it’s time to consider that some people will simply never change, are closed to any and all discussions, and it’s best for ourselves to stop trying over and over, and focus on our own mental health instead.

    I was idealistic once, and would have said there’s never a time to stop trying to fix other people, to help them see a different viewpoint, or mortality, etc, but some people just can’t be fixed. All you’re really doing by continuing to try is breaking yourself in the process. Be kind to yourself <3
