Change Quote by Robin Sacredfire
““It is easier to pull another person down by maintaining the same personality traits than to change. When someone promises change, what that person is really promising you is that she’ll change you enough to the point in which you notice no difference between both. Once you react to the psychological violence in the same way, she can then say you are now both equal.””
