Do you believe that people can change?

[Julius Rain]

Why do you want to change? Whats wrong with you?

IMO anybody can do anything they want. Its all in the mindset. Just recognizing you want change means you're not a blind fool. You are aware of something wrong. However, there are moronic human beings who can't even recognize something is wrong or they flat out deny it/ even some embrace it like its the norm. I guess only people with enough brain capacity can change.

Also IMO, you can't just be one thing at all times. You gotta play your cards right. I always hated the phrase "be yourself". I think thats one of the most irresponsible advice anybody can give to anybody, especially to a youngster. There have been many occasion when if I was to be myself, I would get fired, go to jail, get shot, etc. Just play your cards right and always aware of the situation.

Now lets get back to the real topic here, what is wrong with you? What do you want to change about you?

Nothing is wrong with me but I have some character flaws I want to fix..

- I have a hot temper

- I wear emotions on my sleeve

- I want to find Jesus but it's hard.. im not convinced

Any suggestions?

First of don't drink

I'm no expert but sounds like you going through typical youngblood type of phase. We all been through the same things. I control my temper by thinking about consequences. I eradicated that whole wearing your heart on your sleeve by learning to follow my brain instead of my emotion. I'm not sure how I've done that but there are times when I do slip up. About Jesus, you don't need to find him man. Sound like you know what right and wrongs are thats all there is to it.

I think you just tough on yourself, relax man quit taking things too serious. Go talk to Andre, he better at giving advice than I am.

Ha dont pass the buck to me Rainman you doing fine .

Why do you want to find Jesus? Is that the misses to be's calling?

You do know Jesus or Yeshua as he was known pointed to God, John also pointed above and at the high road. The churches driven by men all point at themselves and at the ones who pointed out God and the higher road. Middle men are cashing in.

Of course people can change, people are constantly evolving. Sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Life is ups and downs and some comes from beyond and some comes from within. I think you do have the ability to control things, but it isn't easy and I think people tend to eventually let themselves go physically and emotionally. I think the social and economic models that we have in place today are cruel and are designed to scar you. It isn't easy to change, but you have to in order to survive.

I was packing to go away tomorrow and noticed "GEEK" written on something, it reminded me of this thread.... I guess not all slates become more offensive over time and some become more complimentary.
