Individuals

When you spend alot of time with someone does your influence affect them or do we just hope it does because we want to better them?
Is it possible to change someone or do we just see what we want to see?

We hope, with family members, friends, partners, that we can help them to get out of bad habits but we could possibly be pushing something that isn't meant to happen.

We're told to accept people as they are but if they have a flaw should be try and change it or are we making matters worse?

With every little thing there's a thin line between helping and making things worse, but how are we ever to know where the line is. Through trial and error is the only way but do we take the risk that may ruin everything.but we really should love people for exactly who they are, that's the reason we loved them in the first place.. Isn't it

In my opinion in we like/love someone we like/love them for who they are and shouldn't need to change them. However what if it was for the better of your relationship or their life? I guess it all depends on what you're trying to change and what sort of person they are.. ?
