I can fix her/him/them

This mistaken humanistic view of reality is quite like the story of The Frog and the Scorpion — BUT FOR REAL!!!!! The mistaken belief that a one’s love and understanding can change another person’s personality and character. A person who has demonstrably driven several people crazy while in tempestuous toxic relationships. A more contemporary approach to relationships and relating that ignores traditional conventional wisdoms like: *** Once a cheater always a cheater. *** you can’t turn a whore into a house wife. *** Peter Pan will never grow up. *** People do not change. *** If they will do it with you; they will do it to you. *** If they mistreat a waiter or waitress they will mistreat you. Ignoring the wisdom and experience of an entire culture, the optimistic lover proclaims: “I can fix him/her/them”. Understanding that this is the 21st century, this statement has been updated to include the possibility of chosen pronouns.
