changes - activity 1, unit 7

1. This blog's topic is about if we think that people only change after something bad happens. This is true in some ways. Say a few friends were drinking and one of them got in an accident and died. The rest of the friends might change their ways and stop partying all of the time, which they wouldn't have done at that time unless their hadn't died. Although the above is true, there are some situations where people do change without something devastating happening. Sometimes people just have realizations, which are powerful enough to change their ways. Say someone was really stressed out and was pushed to take a week or too off of work. Supposedly they go to the mountains, and the fresh air, open spaces, etc., cleared their mind and made them realize how they need to make time for themselves, because life isn't all about work. then again, there are some situations and some certain people who don't ever change, at all. I'm not sure why, but I definitely know some people that are like that. You know, and sometimes there may be a person who is just so used to living alone and doing things their own way, that when someone confronts them about something that they might need to change, they don't even take it in to consideration and they think it's ridiculous. The sad thing about it is they aren't refusing it and knowing it's true on the inside, but they actually can't see it. So I guess that you couldn't say that all of these examples contradict themselves, but that's how I see that question that I was asked.
