Reason

The cynic inside us says to that no one ever changes, that what a person is is how he will always be. Especially when hurt, then that is a good defense mechanism. But there is another side to it too. Sometimes, when the reason is big enough, or the cause noble enough, then people do change. All they require is that jolt. And then they require the support and belief. Even if it means going out on a ledge, they are worth it, because they have a reason. Someone with a purpose is someone who can be trusted. You don't know what you got till it's gone, but if you believe then you can have it again, and a battle won.
