"I am right"

I would like to ask why some people do not understand how much they hurt others, only because they believe to know what is right and they do not listen what other people think, wish, believe. I am not talking about religion. I am talking about the behavior of people who believe to know that they are always perfect, and to know what is best for others. So that they just impose it to others, and get angry or disappointed when others do not want to do it and suggest unlistened alternatives. It is when dialogue does not exist and the complexity of life is misregarded. It is when people always know what is right, black or white, and do not see all the different tones of grey, if not the rainbow of colors which characterize life.

They force people to follow what they suggest to do, because they know better. They hurt people making them sad, because they have to do things they do not agree with, or because they disappoint the expectations of the beloved ones. They make people think about themselves and put in discussion their own beliefs, but they never think they might change. They do not consider any other perspective than their own one, and every other one becomes unacceptable.

Other people will at some point go their own way, trying to explain them that they might be wrong, and eventually give up on changing their certainties, although feeling like betraying their love for them. But, after all, people can change only if they want to. You can not force someone to change. You can not force someone to see also with other's eyes. You can only try to teach him.
