to push or not to push

i do not believe in stopping people from doing what they dearly like to do. but i experience serious conflict when i see people ordering/drinking coke, particularly when my concern for them screams out to me to stop them from. once i was a coke drinker as well, and many years ago i believed that the drink was the ultimate luxury i was deprived of at home. but i know better now, and i wish i could change the world :(.

read this and you'll know what i mean. i hope.
