Re: change perceived negatively
Good topic, sadzz!
I think change shouldn't always be viewed as a confronting other, or something that is a threat to your existence. Most people become defensive (even offensive) when they're old to change/control a bad habit. The blame, however, is to be shared by both, the one asking for change and the one who should change. Any true and sustainable change can come only from a deep realization as to know what you had been doing was wrong, and that means the subject shouldn't be arrogant when lightly criticized, and the guide must be insightful to make a good argument. Half-baked solutions only lead to further disaster.
