No one ever wants to change.
Sad day in america. Get to the root of issues and people get scared and run away. So sad. I wish others could internalize and break downt he barriers in their own mind.
Try this, to those who do want to grow and change. Break down the imaginary barriers that divide us.

We are our lifes message. We are our actions words and who we asscoiate ourselves with. The labels out there are not real. The labels others put on us are a major problem. But the labels and barriers we put on ourselves is the real problem. Until people realize that, nothing will ever change.
That is why krishnamurti failed. In his refusal to have labels, even acknowledging labels others put on themsevles, even to get them from a to b. If you do not know where someone is coming from, how can you possibly understand what it will take to free them?
what someone see's themselves as is very important, and should not be minimulized. That is why the question "who are you" is so important. We are dust in the wind. We are, what we are becoming.
all we can do is hope people start the process. Where they go from their is their choice. People can cut yoru chains, but they can't force you to leave the cave of willful ignorance. you must do that yoruself. Each journey starts with a step, aka smith. the first step is realization. then internalizaion. When you break downt the barreiers in your own mind, then come talk to me.
Repent and you will be forgiven.
