But part of loving is sacrificing our ego's need to be right. Part of loving is realising that all of us are on the same journey, seeking the same things, but find ourselves at different places. When we are able to acknowledge and accept this reality; we are freed from the desire to force others into our systems, our beliefs and our points of view. Brandan Roberston
About This Quote

The quote, “But part of loving is sacrificing our ego's need to be right. Part of loving is realising that all of us are on the same journey, seeking the same things, but find ourselves at different places. When we are able to acknowledge and accept this reality; we are freed from the desire to force others into our systems, our beliefs and our points of view.” It means that when you love someone you have to sacrifice your own feelings about them. If you love them, you have to accept them for who they are not who you want them to be.

You have to accept them so that you both can have a better relationship. You have to love everyone unconditionally, even if they do things that upset or disappoint you or make you mad. You can’t control people and what they do is their choice not yours.

If you truly love someone then you must show support for them no matter what they do or how they act.
