I see people getting better; I see people getting
worse. Indeed, people change either for
better or for worse.
I work
in rehab facility where in I get to see patients who are addicted into shabu,
marijuana, sex, relationships and are into problematic relationships with their
wife and family. The first time I saw
them, I see in their eyes that they seems to be no hope at all. I mean, there’s nothing that they can do
better from what they have been through as an addict. But after several months, or for some it
takes them years to be in the program, they change. They go out in the center as person different
from the first time I saw them. No more
red eyes, untidy hair, dirty clothes and indescribable sadness. I see them as happy, fulfilled, satisfied,
and excited to be in the new chapter of their lives. Indeed, people change.
On the
contrary, I see people as a very good, talented, successful and powerful. I don’t know how to describe but I guess,
someone I look up to. But then again,
people change. Years after I met them, I
see them different now. They appeared
disturbed, confused, sad, and unsatisfied.
I don’t know what happened to them along the way, but as what I’ve said,
people change.
This
realization makes me think, which side I am in? Am I getting better? or Am I
getting worse. People Change.
