I don't understand why others are scared of people changing. You know what I'm scared of? I'm scared, no, petrified that people can't change. I don't mean individual people, I mean people in general. I'm scared that human nature can't change, because human nature is ugly as sin. Human nature is egotisitcal, fiercely judgemental, prejudiced and hypocritical. It's greedy, selfish, incessently unsatisfied, self-centred. Human nature is violent, vengeful, bitter and mocking of others. Trust me when I say I don't exclude myself at all from this description. Look around us; what situation has humanity gotten the world into? It breaks my heart; we start wars, we abuse the monumental generosity of the planet, destroying it with our never-ending greed for more. Most of all, we hurt other people and we don't give a crap about it. I don't just mean that we hurt each other physically, I mean those little digs at our friends, those sarky jokes that actually really hit a nerve. Those condescending looks that make the receptor feel about 2cm tall.
That's why I like it when people change, because, for better or for worse, it reassures me that they can. Because it haunts me, it shouldn't, but it does, that I see all the negative things about human nature and I can't unsee them. And what if I have to live with this all my life?
