>>The Acquiescence to Weakness is in the Choices We Make

It is a general accepted aspect of Psychology that an individual's environment has both indirect and direct effects on the individual. Even if one is being attentive and making sure not to allow such changes to happen, interactions between the individual and others still causes subtle changes in the individual. Typically, these go unnoticed for some time until a situation arises in which the changes have weight and show themselves through the individual's immediate reaction in dealing with the situation.

When confronted with changes that the individual cannot readily accept, or for some reason conflicts with existing truths of self, a series of decisions must be made. The most significant is whether the change is ultimately favorable.

If the change has been determined to be favorable, the individual attempts to resolve the changes with anything they conflict with (perception of self, past persona projections, et cetera).

If the change is determined as unfavorable, the individual is charged with figuring out how to go about reversing/altering the changes. This can go one of three ways: the change is altered via the individual's mental capacity of self-control, the other person who encouraged/gave rise to the change is removed (thereby making the chance that the individual returns to their previous state feasible), or both of these.

The truly favorable method of altering unfavorable change is found in different ways depending on the goal of the individual. If the goal is simply altering the change, then the option of both is best. If the goal is easiest method, getting rid of the cause -- the other person -- is best. If personal understanding and growth is the goal, self-alteration is best.

Most people here would pick the easiest option: get rid of the cause, get rid of the change, right?

Which one do you pick?
