The natural way most people practise to persuade others of their opinions and ideas is debate and argument and trying to diminish the worth of those who oppose them, and the result is never good at all, whether they become convinced or not. One of the mistakes many people make is viewing whoever opposes their ideas and opinions as an opponent who must be overcome one way or another, but the truth is otherwise. What we should seek and obtain is to persuade them and move them to change their opinions or ideas, not to defeat them or crush them psychologically at all. We want to win them over to our side, not set them against us.
It is difficult for a society to advance and develop if it does not have sufficient conviction of the need to adopt the means of advanced civilisation, such as industrial and agricultural technology and economic and professional technique, and so on. From here we perceive the necessity of persuasion, and we feel its importance in the many affairs of life, and the extent of the need for it in religious matters.
Moreover, persuasion regarding a given matter does not necessarily have to be direct and aimed at each specific person, because that can always be difficult to achieve, and because collective influence constitutes a form of persuasion and leads to imitation.
Do not try to convince others that they are wrong.
Do not try to control them or force them.
Do not use threats.
Give up mocking others' ideas or their remarks.
Do not diminish the value of their ideas or suddenly tell them that their thinking is negative.
Never try to lie, because lying always has an end.
Do not turn the discussion into a battleground, and do not shout or groan.
