Never Do Anything Merely to Please Others

And also never do anything to make others happy.

Caveat:

Of course be loving, kind and generous with others, but just don’t do things for the sake of pleasing others.

Also more critically — if trying to please someone else at the expense of you doing something contrary to your own personal morals and ethics for yourself, or if it relates personally to you … never do it!

To be more specific, let us take this case:

Help someone if it helps them … contained within themselves.

But don’t do things when people say:

“If you became vegan to make me happy, I’d be so happy!”
