Leopards don't change their spots...

I suppose that it's human nature to expect, after long periods of not seeing someone,
that they would have grown and evolved over time...
What's that Alcoholics Anonymous mantra ??
"The definition of INSANITY....
is doing the SAME THING over and over again....
and expecting DIFFERENT RESULTS..."
True, true, friends...
People's inherent behavioral stuff, unless the person REALLY REALLY desires and aspires to change...
just stays in place....
Perhaps the behavior wears a new costume....
parades as "ENLIGHTENMENT and TRANSFORMATION"...
but unltimately....
the same old DNA rises up...(from the grave)..
rears is ugly, misinformed head...
and the MUCKY, JARBLED YUCK bubbles right up to the surface...(AGAIN!)
and we, unfortunaely, are transported back in time...
and are reminded, FULL WELL, of why we are NOT engaged with that heinous person any longer....
Expecting DIFFERENT RESULTS ...
HA !!
