It's not necessary that you explain everything to everyone in the moment. Some explanations will go wasted because the receipient is in a different kind of intoxicity. When we are too young we jump into explaining each and everything instantaneously which no one listens to but people who think in long term wait with patience.
Sometimes they wait for 2 years, sometimes 5 years and sometimes a decade passes. In my life my personal experience regarding this has never been wrong. After some years everything becomes clear to everyone without any explanation from your side. And in this intervening period you have to do only two things - keep doing your work & second stay true to yourself. Otherwise you will give up.
Alignment of belief & truth will keep you unshaken in difficult times. Times change like seasons. Life is never upside or downside.
I hope at least some of you must have understood already why I did a few things a few years back. I did not have to wait for a very long time in this case because trajectory and understanding was very cliche - it was childish & cringe.
At the end I just want to tell you one thing - be yourself and never lose yourself running for short term gains. Prestige, truth, respect, reputation - these things are most important when you see life in decades & quarters.
But yes for some material gains are most important not self respect. No matter what people think of them, they find solace in material gains.
The point is what do we want from life. If we get what we want - everything is sorted. Happiness with own self is the biggest happiness.
