Yes. Although pretending there's nothing wrong rarely does anyone any good.
I know. And it's not useful, exactly. To know that people are their own, and however much you want to influence them, that's the extent of what you can do. It doesn't help, when you want to help. But it's true. You can offer. And you can listen. And you can talk. But people are their own. That isn't a Buddhist thing. It's just life.
