The error with persuasion
    #22403129 - 10/19/15 11:27 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

Because, you see, the error with worshipping persuasion in itself is that it takes you further away from gentleness and love.  Love cannot be forced.  And so the very idea of persuasion - coercion - is antipathic to love.

'You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free.' - Thich Nhat Hanh

'When we embrace those we love with mindfulness, they will blossom like flowers.' - Thay

'May our heart's garden of awakening bloom with hundreds of flowers.' - T.

Where is the line between myself and another?

Do what you gotta do (not much?).

you're the one defining  persuasion as coercion,
with such a redefinition of course your chosen conclusion follows.

does the sun persuade a person to take off their coat?
does the sun coerce?
What if the same sunshine warms someone else who was too cold?
Does the sun even know you exist?
Are all persuasion methods the same?
Do you ever stand up for an opinion? If you did and someone was convinced would you be guilty of coercion?

Thich is a cool guy,
but in general it doesn't seem quotes always serve as a reliable compass.
But sound bytes do seem to sell self help books and posters and substitute for thought.
