REAL CHANGE

REAL CHANGE
I have over time maintained that human beings do not change, that is, a person being a particular kind of person transforming into something else as in becoming an entirely different person than he used to be, does not happen.
I have come to this conclusion on the subject based purely on observing social interactions and my experience with friends and family. I bet to say that there is no such thing as ‘real change’, that is real change of a person as is often described to be, is only a figment of our imagination. Alluding to such thing as ‘real change’ is what I consider, a later realisation or earlier un-realisation of the true personality of the person in question.
I hope the following would do some clarity to my assertion for your comprehension:

·         MAN AND FINANCIAL WEALTH

You would hear people quickly jump into labelling their friend or friends, parents, siblings, bosses, among others, as having changed dramatically upon benefiting from some huge or gargantuan amount of money. They say things such as; he now buys stuff like this or that, he now indulges with this group or that group.
What I wish to point out is that, these on the face value could not tell. Knowing the person in question would easily reveal to you that he or she has had such interests, tastes, close to his or her heart and it’s just a matter of time when he or she gets to unleash those.

·         HUMAN ADAPTATIONS

Normally, what we come to call the true personality of a person has to do with the way the person adapts to the basics of life or difficult situations, this is erroneous. It is true though to say that the mode of adaptation to each situation is informed by certain human (genetic) traits, and depending on the situation, these traits inform differently. This trait is unique to each person and never changes, though they inform the human modes differently depending on the level of the adaption to life situations or issues.
When you come to this understanding, you would realise that it is the same old person having to find him or herself somewhere new and happen to adapt in a way you might consider a change of person.
I think this assignment would help, observe people closest to you, look back in time, and fast forward to date, if you consider what you find as newness in persona of some sort, I bet you never knew or you are yet to know the person or people in question.
THE BIT ABOUT GOD
Finally, I have this gut feeling that God possesses a higher or the highest form of knowledge on this subject. Several accounts in the Bible seem to point to this, the manner in which God is able to tell exactly how things would turn out given certain circumstances. A cursory look at accounts such as that of King Pharoah of Egypt and the tests God put him through, and the fact that God knew aforehand how he would relate to such, seem to spark this feeling the more. Several definitive statements in the book of Proverbs in the Bible on human behaviour, among others, are but a few of such examples.
Alright, so that is by far my take!
