It is so very freeing to not worry what others think.  Does this mean you run off and do something that would hurt others or cause emotional pain?  Of course not.  The heart will always guide you to make the highest choices.  Make the choice to always follow the heart and you need not ever worry about what others think.  You cannot control their thoughts in any case.  It is the false belief that you can that holds the human prisoner.  Bless others on their journey as you hold in mind the awareness that in reality there is no other beyond the one divine mind, the one heart, and carry on.
