I firmly believe in planting seeds... especially with clients. Maybe they'll germinate in good time, maybe they'll start to sprout years later. I try to do the same with friends. Asking a question that spawns food for thought, is often a great way to accomplish floating a suggestion.
Especially in these days of covid mania people don’t seem to be open to changing their opinions so I’ve learnt not to try as it’s a fruitless task. Just drop a seed…
To MY mind, the covid shit is a microcosm of far greater issues our world and those of us who reside in it are dealing with. We are not here to change others. We are here to change ourselves.
Interesting take on friendships. I often wonder if I’ve said too much but learning to drop the seed there for someone to let it grow

I’ve come to that conclusion too but for humanity’s sake we can’t help but try.
Glyn, the serenity prayer helps me a lot at times:
(God), grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the
difference.
I am henceforth closing this exchange. Thank you for being a fan.
