Can People Change?

This is a hard argument to make as I do try to advocate to the betterment of the world. But if you bear with me I just want to place the argument that without divine intervention or societal intervention people don't change. Theres this inherent nature we all have, that to some capacity we have to change, we have to change, but there isn't much room to change nature. The concept that people fundamentally do not change over time is a view supported by the idea that core personality traits and behaviors are deeply ingrained and resistant to alteration. Despite life's experiences and external influences, there are compelling reasons to believe that individuals remain fundamentally the same.

Tale as old as time, beaty and the beast or shall we say Belle et la Bête. Beauty and the beast is a fascinating story that tackles, sabotage, arranged marriage, jealousy revenge and the idolization, oh you don't remember any of this from the Disney version, of course you don't I'm talking about the first adaptation by Jeanne-Marie Leprince de Beaumont My main thought is the topic of true love is mistaken for a whirlwind of fluffy feelings but  I think this story shows that love is logical, love is patient and love is sacrificial.

Frozen: Love Bombing (remastered)

Play Episode Listen Later Jan 8, 2023 20:19


As all things should go in sequence I thought I would talk about love bombing. I hinted at it in the last episode but I decided to go into it. You see the toxic side of it really well in Frozen and we end up with an exciting conversation. Love bombing is an emotional manipulation technique. It's not great. You basically love someone so much they are unable to see your more toxic traits. You are emotionally gaslit usually early in a relationship so you can manipulate them later. While an overflow of love sounds idyllic, this behavior can be a huge red flag as it is a pattern that can be associated with underlying abuse and a potentially toxic relationship.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
