Though it is essential for our well being that we please others, this must never be our prime purpose. 
 
It is impossible for anyone to please everyone all the time.

Still, trying to do so can become an obsession in which we begin to measure our worth in terms of how many people approve of us.
 
It is only when we have enough respect for our own uniqueness that we assert ourselves without the fear of rejection. 

Part of our uniqueness is our diversity of opinions, our own way of looking at the world.
 
If we encounter those who do not accept this, all is not lost. 

It is possible for mature adults to disagree completely and still love.
 
In fact, a loving relationship need not be an agreeing one.

Disagreements can actually enhance a relationship.
 
In the long run, when we stand up for who and what we are, we earn respect from others and from ourselves.

In so doing we must remember that change is good if it enhances our character and will for the good of others and our selves.
 
Prejudgments become prejudices only if they are not reversible when exposed to new Knowledge.
