There is also the opinion that the best way to "make someone see" is simply to live a given value.
Many of the people who are content to (try to) live their values have as one of those the value that everyone is entitled to form their own opinions and make up their own minds about values.
I personally will happily try to explain why I hold any of mine, if asked, but I have no interest in proselytizing. I will sometimes support "make them see" actions by others that are aimed at informing, are non-violent etc. I admire those with a vision of being able to influence many - I don't believe I personally can. I am a small picture person, not a world picture person, I guess.
