What can change the nature of a man?
Some would say people can't necessarily change at all. I disagree.
I think it requires different things for different people. Having your world turned upside down or having some fundamental individual truth about your viewpoint on something challenged in a meaningful way may trigger a person to reevaluate what is important to them and what they want out of their life.
Some people are more introspective than others and may reach a point where they are able to naturally course-correct based on what they perceive is happening around them. Some are very well educated on the patterns of human interaction and can see a pattern emerging that they'd rather not see continue - and some are forced to make that change or face dire penalties or a severe change in their quality of life.
At times people are put in a position where they have to fight for themselves and make a declaration to those around them that they exist for a reason in order to justify their own existence. Sometimes that drive to find meaning helps bring out the person they always wished they could be.
