Nature123: Why do people want others to change,
If you care for some one you take them for who they are.
WOULD YOU CHANGE FOR SOME ONE

We are in a constant state of change. That's the intrinsic part of life. The Chinese have the ancient book called 'The Book of Changes' (I Ching).
With every encounter, every friendship formed, I change a little through the interaction. With close relationships even more so. In some aspects, I can say I have changed a lot. I have learned a few things about myself which I know I would not have learned, had it not been for that relationship, and that includes online. As relating is a two-way street, it's likely that in some way, the other person changes also.
In terms of if you care for someone you take them for who they are. Well, speaking only for myself, I have to get to know the person well to be able to truly say I care for them. By that time, yes, I will have accepted them the way they are. I'd say it is because I resonated with the person I think they are, that I would grow to care for them. I would not grow to care for them (as a significant other)if I didn't particularly accept their qualities...So for me, the egg certainly comes first, not the chicken.
I am watching Sunday show
Ther were ten men left at sea in the gulf of Mexico during a hurricane.
An Australian ship refused to go three miles out of it way to pick them up.
Isn't that discusting.the Australian ship company is being charged with murder
In maritime law you never leave any one at sea
I don't know how people can justify doing that.
I always have and always will help someone in need

Merriweather: Nooo Serene, definately not... I am very much changed... I had some really harsh beliefs ( which was learned behaviour from my growing up and continually listening to my mum) around people, habits, hygene, religion, personal appearance, etc... I am still the same as in I eed lotsa quiet time to myself, a reader, and like focussing on my own home projects, but my values have changed enormously... but it took heaps to break away from my family to allow my own thoughts to dominate. .
Now I am much more accepting of a whole range of things.
and things for myself as well. I still tend to pigeon holes certain things, and I have a home for every single thing, and Mr Sheen is still sorta my best friend, but I am getting better.

Hmm that's interesting merri
I guess we're all products of our upbringing, for better or worse, and I would probably say my approach to life and its inhabitants was formed in my childhood majorly due to my mother's influence.
But I don't think that's turned out to be such a bad thing, she was a fairly open-minded woman who was interested in everything and passed those traits on to me
tonyxf: I'll do it for you.
You're in a room full of people but you feel so alone because there isnt anyone who is like YOU.
You're in a room full of people but you feel so alone because there isnt anyone who is like YOU.
To me there are different levels of being 'lonely'. You could be someone like say Madonna, do a concert where there are 20,000 people, all your dancers, band etc. At the end of the show, spectators go home, your employees wrap everything up for the night, the limo comes and takes you to your hotel room ?????? You can know a lot of people but still be lonley.
Then there is the other end of the spectrum, you could be 85 yo, only living family, one lives in Perth, the other in Melbourne. The only people you see and speak to most of the time is the Meels on Wheels lady??

I know each person we meet, we have met them for a reason and if we are open enough we will learn something new. But I am not going to change my habits unless it by my own doing,for my own benefit. Learning is a great thing , we may learn things about ourselves or learn things about the other person, and from that we grow.
