You probably know at least one person who does it. They constantly tell you what you “should” do, “need to” do, or “ought to” do. Or if they are a little more subtle, what they would do if they were you.

All these have one thing in common: they are telling you how to live your life. Of course, this also means they are denying you the right to decide how you want to live. For those who are sensitive to this, it also can be taken as meaning they do not think you are capable of making the decision for yourself.

How much fun is that?
