Both. I've seen people change, and it usually requires a major event or something close to it. Most people remain the same, maybe only slightly changing over time. Their opinions may vary or some actions will be the same, but they will be same person for the most part

People change all the time in some way or another. Even if somebody's opinions are in the same ballpark as before, the general opinion itself can strengthen or weaken in an incremental way. But our hobbies, habits, buying patterns, etc, all tend to change somewhat over time even if we keep the same interests. As people age and their circumstances, they're going to change in general.

But if you're talking about receiving a divine message that causes somebody to radically change their lives overnight (like the sudden understanding of karma in My Name Is Earl), that's pretty rare.

If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man. Whether regret, or love, or revenge, or fear - whatever you believe can change the nature of a man, can.

Ive seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire place has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not. Once, it made a man seek immortality and achieve it. And it has made a posturing spirit think it is something more than a part of me.

I believe some folk can and have changed. A guy back at school was arsehole to me and now I like him as he's grown up. Others however will always be a piece of shit.

I think people can change how they approach the world and their perspective on reality, but I dont think they can fundamentally change their nature. I agree about the major life event thing having to be a catalyst for the change.

People don't change. Their situations change.....and that sometimes forces certain aspects of their personality to go into hibernation. Or awaken.

Take sluts, for example. (holds back a laugh)

When you have a man or a woman who absolutely struggles with monogamy, and just wants to bang anything that moves.....constantly wanting more, never satisfied, gets bored easily...........these people eventually have to grow up. Once they reach their 40's or 50's....or get into a car accident and are physically disfigured....their sluttiness will probably diminish.

Did this person "change"?

No.

Some people might think they grew up and finally realized the value of commitment and giving all their attention to one good partner at a time.....

....but the slut is still there. It's who they are as a person.

The only reason they aren't a slut anymore is because they realize they are older now and have less value on the dating market, so they can't afford to BE a slut anymore (although they still might be tempted to try from time to time).

But if they were to suddenly get an expensive make-over, start working out a lot, get some kind of stomach bug and lose a ton of weight.....or discover a strange object in a cave that summons some strange tentacled entity that can give them eternal youth and attractiveness..................the slut will come back. Because it is who they are.

I'd say he's got the basic gist of it, but didn't make an example of how nuanced character can make a person who seems like a simple slut become entirely loyal without their traits changing.

Idk. I think people can change. If they are different than they were before, then theyve changed. But I guess it depends on what you mean by change. It could be that people have different definitions of what it means to change. Or what it means for people to change...

Yeah " super Nintendo Sega Genesis when I was dead broke I couldn't picture this". Just kind of crazy he went from being this laid back stoner gamer to breaking in cars and claiming gangster disciples as this gang
