People do not change

 As the cinema shows in each of its productions, people do not change, the murderers will continue to be, and so will the vigilantes, no matter how much time passes. The wicked will deceive the unsuspecting and with small good deeds they will hide their true intentions waiting for the moment to see the world burn. They are twisted souls, neither good nor bad, who are asleep or appeased waiting for the day to wake up, come out, reveal themselves and be who they are and have always been... or maybe not.

Others do it, that change, for the wrong reasons or socially frowned upon, revenge, hatred, fear, love, dog fidelity, faith or envy. But in the same way, and as the Mexican and Venezuelan novels show, the villain in the end reflects, finds love or peace and becomes good... again.

A numerical analysis can help to demonstrate the impossibility of such a change. Some person who was good or evil for fifty years, who fed grudges, desires for revenge or pleasure for evil or doing good without looking at who will not change in two weeks. Maybe yes, it will surely be a superficial change. It happens that it is impossible, really impossible that a conduct tolerated and even induced by parents, supported by acquaintances and justified by some members of society and even more, enjoyed by the individual in question during all that time; all his life; It can be modified or left behind in its entirety by a gesture or chance and in a short time. That attitude, bad or good, is embedded in the soul, mind, bones and muscles of the person.

No matter who we talk about, the good and the bad don't change. A person classified as good can be tortured for years and when they get out of their hell they are able to sit down and have a coffee with their torturer and pay the bill. On the same path is that individual who was well treated, loved, considered and even so is capable of cutting the throat of his caregivers and not turning off the light when leaving the room where he leaves his bodies.

In the end there is always a flame of hope. Some change, for better or for worse, depending on the path that has been traveled. Of course no one can change from evil to evil or from good to good. In this matter there are only two colors, otherwise it will be impossible to find a way out or end to the theme.

It happens that perhaps some, from one side or the other, do change. They do it for the right and morally valid reasons based on the values that were instilled in it. (for the slave owner's grandson, it is correct to treat the merchandise firmly, as he learned) as correct and they are the ones who are considered to have truly changed, because they do so in a way and in a direction that is morally and socially accepted. No matter the depth or sincerity of that change. Occurred. That is the key.

The following example is applicable to all positive social and moral change. The first step to get away from alcoholism is the admission of the condition, saying "I am an alcoholic" and repeating that phrase is part of the credo of these people who, under the motto "just for today I will not drink" manage to change their lives and those of others. others in your environment. These people, like drug users, addicts to sex, extreme emotions and other excesses of modern life, go through this "I am" phase as the first step to socially accepted change, because you never really let go. of being, you never really change, you just decide to be different or to change the course of your own steps in life. It is what they call now, in the 21st century, self-control and personal growth, which for many centuries was called meditation, repentance and the desire for amendment; all together.

A patient of this type, (alcohol, drugs, sex, murder, domestic violence) will always remain so in the depths of his being and his soul, but it happens that he decided not to be "just for one more day" They socialize the defects of and control its effects; they do it for various reasons; some more valid or memorable than others; some do it out of love for their children or grandchildren, perhaps for their partner, out of hatred, envy or simply tired of being singled out by society. Sometimes to achieve a goal (physical, monetary or peace of mind) others for religious reasons and others for a fear of jail and punishment that is above the pleasure that his way of acting can produce.

Perhaps it seems that they change, in reality people remain the same and cinema, theater, literature and history, in general, show us how it frequently happens that a person who has changed returns to their previous ways of being for reasons futile, vain or the disappearance of the object or subject that motivated or promoted the change.

Whoever changes, or appears to change, does so, as has already been said, due to internal reasoning, meditation or personal growth, bornFrom this analysis where benefits and punishments are weighed, a conclusion is born that demonstrates the logic and convenience of the transformation that must then be sustained and supported by the environment, of course, also by the inner jurisdiction of the person, since the "grace" of That change is to defeat the worst monster you will find in life: yourself. The merit is in completely defeating the closest and most seasoned enemies of good: YOU AND YOUR WAY OF ACTING.

When you are able to defeat such a formidable enemy every day, one day at a time, and dominate it, is when change has merit. Quitting when you don't have money for cigarettes has no merit, not smoking when you need money to eat either. Do it to buy medicine for the children or to save money and buy a gun to kill your cousin's rapist if he has one. Quitting alcohol and drugs because you found Jesus and he miraculously made you change has no merit. Stop drinking and reject vice when Satan offers you drinks, sex, drugs and forgetting your faults, that is merit. Kind regards.
