What does it take for true change?
Look at someone who has said they have changed. do people really change or is it just a development? Or does change really even exist, are we sadly ucapable of change as humans. Is a person just layered with experience and improved by time and alternate view points or can one actually have life changing experiences? In traumatic near experiences one can say that they had a life changing experiences. but are they just living off that past tramatic experince. i cant help but ask what truly causes change in that person, can there be something so drastic as to "change a human being" or deep down are we still the same, with the same problems that will eventually explode to the surface? One can look at other traumatic experience and see that a person can repress memories called 'hidden memory syndrome' (which has questionable validity) and theories about 'ego' and 'sub conscience.' do we all have moments of regression to our past selves or wants or desires or insecurities that can surface and effect us, if so can there be a way to stop it and actually "change" or is our past always present?

People dont change, they barely develope. you should be ask do people truely develope or are they acting. look at all those people that have had a cheated lover, and if any of them took back that lover, chances are they cheated on them again!
Bitter hearts...
change as you mention it seems to be referring to a sudden upheaval, a revolution of sorts to turn back the tide of the everyday. Does it happen? Probably not often in this sense - I think you are correct to say it usually happens more gradually (evolution, not revolution).
But... never underestimate the power of an earth-shattering life-altering event.
