I am kind of disappointed that you didnt address what was the main point in my post, that is, that it is a terrible strategy to believe in something because of "feels in the heart". There’s always the risk that by telling a boy they shouldn’t do something you’re encouraging them to double down Im not saying I necessarily would tell them they shouldnt do something. I agree that thats not always a good idea, and in general I try and avoid telling people , especially children, what to do, on principle. But you don’t want people to convince him of things that may not necessarily be true I would assume that in a large majority of cases, it is someone convincing him of something that isnt true. |
