ppl seldom encourage.....or am I too harsh on tht???

ok. I used to eat non-veg till last two weeks. But I knew in the back of mind before that too while eating each time, tht it was not for me and I shall abandon tht one day. Also I feel all the craving for the same has gone. I am pretty sure about my decision and the divine strength in it. But somehow ppl seldom try to encourage such acts. Yesterday one of my frnds was having bday bash....he took a very naive decision of quitting smoking....but the smokers around him try to discourage...coz the community wants his member not to go out of the group...esp when the one going out is following his heart and taking a very good decision...
I dont want to be harsh on anyone...but just saying that by encouraging at such junctures will do a waorld of good to both the parties.....just think on tht...
But encourage or not the bravo shall turn the tables when the odds are against them and history has lots of such stories to boast of.....
