I assume most people will feel hurt when they are forced to do things that they don't want to do. Like, for example, when I force my friend to drink black coffee because for me it gives me some good effects for my body and my mood.
Though I know that my friend hates coffee, I still force her to drink it. Then, as a result, she gets worse effects from that coffee.
How cruel I am if I do that to my friend. So, I try to understand that there are people that still don't have empathy by forcing others to do things against those others' will.
Because updating statuses on my social media (Whatsapp is my only thing😅), is not my cup of tea, I choose not to do it for my peace of mind. However, I was finally forced to do it after some unsuccessful attempts. And the after-effect was a whole night attack of headache.
I finally chose to do that because of one simple thing. I am an adult, and I don't have to waste my energy arguing about this. It's understandable for me that there are those kinds of people who never even try to exercise their empathy.
And, if, later on, those kinds of forcing violate my personal life and my rights as a human, a bigger decision is needed. That decision is a sacrifice to avoid a lot more sufferings if I am controlled by others. Let me just be controlled by God and myself.
