Even if that's not the case (perhaps they are taking a step backward in your opinion) I just accept that not everyone is at the same level as me, just as I know there are lots of people at higher levels of consciousness than me. I wouldn't want them to feel angry at my level so I can't in good conscience feel angry when someone else is making poor choices.

Know what I mean?

That's the crux of the issue: Is it better to leave someone to their own devices or is it better to "challenge them incessantly" until something gives?

I personally don't mind being challenged, so I feel OK projecting it onto others. =)
