Such terrible things to say about another human being.
Yep. I hope the kid who lit the dog shelter on fire diaf as well.
I pray every night that certain people die. I figure if it happens then it's god's will.

Is the answer, because they are dirty?
The fact is, people change all the time. Some people spend their entire lives reinventing themselves.
The real problem is most people just don't notice cause they're too concerned with their own lives. A big change for me or you is a very small change to someone else. If I put on 30lbs of muscle in the next 3 months, that would be a huge change for me. If you get a promotion at your job, that would be a BIG change for you. But it would be a very small change to other people.
Same thing with learning. People are learning all the time but you don't actually SEE THIS happening. You don't see people getting smarter. You don't see them getting more mature. At least, not until many years have passed by.
In fact, I don't think there is 1 person on this entire planet who hasn't change in 1 way or another. Change is the essence of evolution and life. A person may struggle with drug addiction their whole life, say like Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Robin Williams. But when you view their lives over the course of 40-50 years, you see huge, profound changes.
So I think it's the way humans measure change that's the problem. And also the nature of change itself blinds many people to recognizing it. REAL change happens so slow most people don't see it. Or they're not looking for it in the first place. Like when I got my cracked tooth fixed. That was a HUGE CHANGE for me. I didn't smile for almost a year because I was so embarrassed people would see my cracked tooth and I didn't have dental insurance. When I got it fixed I was so happy I cried driving home from the dentist. But to other people? They didn't even notice. When my brother got married, that was a HUGE change for him. To me? I didn't notice anything. He was still the same exact person to me. That's why, it's not really till 10 years pass by, and you look back that you REALLY notice change. It's not measured in days or weeks or even months, but years and decades.

It's probably more widespread than you realise. Yes it is a very vague generalisation but many people I know are happy to plod along just about making a living. The only time they decide to do something about it is when they can no longer survive on their income.
Personally I have always strived for better, I believe that I and my family are worth more but several friends of mine who have the capability to do more choose not to because they are content with what they have.

He asked the crowd of businessmen this question - "Why do people not change?"
And then, the speaker held up his hand, quieted the crowd and said the thing that has been running around in my head for the last 4 days. He said, "People don't change because it doesn't hurt enough yet."
