In life, we often want to change other people's behavior, but the let them theory teaches us that the most pragmatic principle is not to try to control anyone. If someone behaves in a belligerent manner, let them. If they show complacency and don't try to improve in life, let them. We often feel ambivalence, especially when people close to us don't behave as we expect. However, maintaining fortitude, we must give them freedom. Life is a dichotomy, where some people make meticulous plans, while others make impetuous decisions. Forcing someone into conformity can be inequitable. Discernment is important, so we can understand when to intervene and when to show deference and let others live their way. The Let them policy helps preserve our mental peace, because some things cannot be changed.
