Do you believe that people can ever truly change at the most basic, fundamental level?
I'm not talking about changing a habit, I'm talking about a complete transformation.
My personal belief is that people can change in this way but it takes a major catalyst.
One way I believe that real change can be ushered in is by having children. I often tell my friends that don't have children (some who insist they never want them) that they'll go through life never knowing exactly how having children can truly change a person. From the moment that child is born you feel your old self wash away and a new version of yourself being born. I'm not saying it's this way for everyone, but for most people this is a real transformation that takes place.
Having children is but merely one example but surely there are others. I'd love to hear your stories, testimonies, sentiments, and thoughts. Have you ever truly experienced a life changing event that shook your inner being to the core?
The purpose of this thread is simply to engage in meaningful dialog and discourse with others. There is no underlying context or nuance here, it's simply a discussion I'd like to have.
