That’s very profound Aunty. I find that often the most profound things people know, tends to come from their personal experiences. So I will remember that Aunty as I suspect that it’s a truth you yourself have learned on life’s journey.
About 10-15 years ago, when I was starting to have to deal with aging parent issues more, I complained to a friend that it wasn’t that they were changing—but the fault(s) they’d had all along were increasing. She told me “what held it in check is eroding”. Very useful way to think about it.
A self-absorbed S.O.B. from the 70s that was trying to rule the N.Y. Real estate market is now a self-absorbed S.O.B. ’trying to rule the entire world…or destroy it!

Some people actually can and do change. Especially if they want to influence others to change in response.

As we get older, we stop caring so much what people think of us.
