We often hear the words,"I can change.". But how many of you believe those words?
I stand by the side that people can change. My main reason is this:
"Do past behavior(s) absolutely predict future behaviors? No."
It’s apples and oranges when you compare thoughts versus deeds. Anyone can experience immoral, illegal, compassionate, or selfish thoughts…it’s the ACTION one takes on those thoughts, that makes the difference is the change. Whether they act on them or not.
So what do you think, can humans change their nature?
Here are some examples of how labels stick, i.e
A sober alcoholic is still labeled as an alcoholic.
A sex offender shall always be labeled as a sex offender.
But what if this said sex offender, has changed his ways. NO, that doesn't matter. It's the past they hang onto.
