abacustranslation,
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
If the horse is thirsty....it will drink. If it is not thirsty it will not drink. But at least the horse will know where to find water. It will return there when it is thirsty. IMO it is best to be content with that...you have done your job.
If you go beyond that and persist....your ego is controlling you. You want affirmation or praise or whatever. Your ego intrusion becomes an impediment to the freedom of another.
We legitimately tell our children not to touch a hot stove. We do this out of love not from any expectation of being thanked or praised. Lessons are best learned when the time is right.....everything in its own time. Best not to deprive anyone of a personal discovery.
