Can people change?

Asked by nikipedia (28072points) July 16th, 2008

A recent quip claimed, “once a cheater, always a cheater”. Lots of brilliant psychologists have demonstrated that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior. My personal hero has said, “It’s about taking what you have, and, instead of trying to change it, finding a happy way to live with it.”

That all seems awfully cynical, and unkind to anyone who has made mistakes in the past. So do you have evidence to the contrary? Can people change?
