In my opinion, the only thing we can consistently do for the entirety of our lives is change.
I think this is the most important message within this post, while the world around us telling "people never change" like a mantra. This authorize some to not even try to improve, but on the sideline they worsen. If the mantra woul'd be "improve or worsen" while known to be steady is the hardest, it might would be different. Even for addicts, they are not the same within time, they worse, and the next round just silencing the voice inside which draws attention to this fact. It's not fair telling them they are not changing while they actually are.
Exactly. So the other thing we can choose to do for our entire lives, is learn - yet most people think that is about opening up a book or getting some kind of useless information from the internet - it is about learning how to live better.
