Will you accept someone as they are or try to help them?

Asked by higherground (1148points) December 17th, 2009

Let’s just say, you know someone (family or friend) who has something that doesn’t please you too much. It might be a characteristic or something to do with their appearance or anything about them and it bugs the hell out of you but may not necessarily be a bad thing. (for example, their inability to dress up nicely)

What will you do? Will you…

1) Accept them for who and what they are, because your love for them is much bigger than the problem they have? You will embrace it and try to love them for what they are.

OR

2) Try to help them snap out of this problem and tell them ‘hey! this part of you is not really pleasing’ and you try to help them to change for the better. (Do note that even if this problem of theirs bugs you, it may not necessarily mean that it bugs others)

Let’s discuss!
