About this Quote

This quote by Ann Patchett talks to the concept that individuals can be judgmental and unsupportive of our decisions. In this case, Ann Patchett wanted a pet, but people gave her a tough time for it. This could be since individuals anticipated her to desire an infant, or due to the fact that they thought a pet dog was too much responsibility. Whatever the reason, it is clear that Ann Patchett was not supported in her choice. This quote works as a tip that we must not judge others for their choices, and that we should be helpful of the choices they make. We must also bear in mind that everyone is different which what works for a single person might not work for another. Ultimately, we must respect each other's decisions and be encouraging of one another.
