Get the You can X my Y mug.This mistaken humanistic view of reality is quite like the story of The Frog and the Scorpion — BUT FOR REAL!!!!!
The mistaken belief that a one’s love and understanding can change another person’s personality and character. A person who has demonstrably driven several people crazy while in tempestuous toxic relationships. A more contemporary approach to relationships and relating that ignores traditional conventional wisdoms like:
*** Once a cheater always a cheater.
*** you can’t turn a whore into a house wife.
*** Peter Pan will never grow up.
*** People do not change.
*** If they will do it with you; they will do it to you.
*** If they mistreat a waiter or waitress they will mistreat you.
Ignoring the wisdom and experience of an entire culture, the optimistic lover proclaims: “I can fix him/her/them”.
Understanding that this is the 21st century, this statement has been updated to include the possibility of chosen pronouns.
