People often say that “change is constant” but I don’t think it is true at all times. I have always wanted people to change. Repeated times that I reprimanded people and asked them to do the right thing. I have always demanded for a changed behavior more than apologies. But not even a single time it was made into action. I honestly think that people cannot change what they are used too, or maybe they can but it takes long time.
In my opinion, someone will never be able to change another person. Simply because you, yourself, must have the willingness to change a certain habit in you. Even thousands of people will tell you your wrongdoings, nothing changes unless you act on them. You remain to be that pathetic person you are, being compartmentalized with the wrong idea. It is only you who has the ability to make a difference in you, only you.
As I have mentioned above, I have always wanted people to change but I realized I cannot. I will never be able to change people. I should stop aiming to make people perfect because it will never happen. I, myself, am not perfect. Why should I expect people to always do what is right? Maybe that is what brings them joy and I should not interfere with it.
After exerting effort in trying to change them and failing at it, I realized it is no longer my fault. I have tried my best to guide them to the right path. I cannot force them to choose what I think is good for them since they have their own decisions amidst them being unsound. Nevertheless, it is not I who will suffer the consequences. My concern is just I do not like them to be miserable in the future. I hope they would be enlightened and realize these things.
