    In my previous email, I said that there are two ways in which a person
    changes. In my opinion, the people to whom you refer are going to have
    to endure a lot of pain before they decide to change. That's one of the
    great things about pain - for those that want it, it's never in short
    supply. Pain can be a great teacher.
