Mrs.So-and-so may be doing very wrong--really very wrong; or some one who is nearly related to us may be doing very wrong--and it may be our most earnest and sincere desire to set him right.

In such cases the strain is more intense because we really have right on our side, in our opinion, if not in our attitude toward the other person.

Then, to recognize that if some one else chooses to do wrong it is none of our business is one of the most difficult things to do--for a woman, especially.
It is more difficult to recognize practically that, in so far as it may be our business, we can best put ourselves in a position to enable the other person to see his own mistake by dropping all personal resistance to it and all personal strain about it.

Even a mother with her son can help him to be a man much more truly if she stops worrying about and resisting his unmanliness.
"But," I hear some one say, "that all seems like such cold indifference." Not at all--not at all.

Such freedom from strain can be found only through a more actively affectionate interest in others.
