"If I do not want what you want,
please try not to tell me that my want is wrong.
Or if I believe other than you,
at least pause before you correct my view.
Or if my emotion is less than yours, or more,
given the same circumstances,
try not to ask me to feel more strongly or weakly.
Or yet if I act or fail to act
in the manner of your design for action, let me be.
I do not, for the moment at least, ask you to understand me.
That will come only when you are willing
to give up making me into a copy of you."
