I think people pursue the "change of appearance" because that's all they know HOW to do. Real change is difficult. Maybe impossible. Except for God. The change God makes MUST happen. All the time. With that, I'm with you 100%. nakedpastor–I agree, except when you say “the kind endorsed by almost everyone.” I think people pursue the “change of appearance” because that’s all they know HOW to do.

But how? Why? Do you do this by locking her or yourself away? Do you do this by drugging yourself? Or do you begin by looking at your violence, but analyzing it, recognizing it? Only in this way may your violence begin to dissolve. The way religion does it is by cloaking it with righteous attitudes and behavior. Some of the most repulsive violence is of this kind: candy-coated with religion and spirituality. We are afraid to face the demon itself, to name it, and thereby disarming it. So I do believe in change, but not the kind endorsed by almost everyone. If you’re beating your wife, you better change. But how? Why? Do you do this by locking her or yourself away?
