People don’t like it when you change. Even if that change is making your life better, they don’t like it because a little piece of them dies.

I suppose Gervais could be right. But I see it a bit differently. Change is hard to recognize; it takes time to trust it.

If you have amends to make, do them as best you can whether people like it or not. But do so with the utmost respect for the difficulty they may face in hearing it.

It is hard and we are ill-equipped to deal with past harms that wrecked us. Be gentle and gracious to all.
