That's a really thoughtful and insightful post. It is hard to resist the urge to "re-make" people, and I have concluded (for myself at least) it's rooted in arrogance ("I know what you need, or should do, better than you do").

There's an old joke: men marry women hoping they'll never change, whereas women marry men hoping they will.

Yeah, and then when the men do change (or don't) the girl leaves, divorce rapes him, and he is left with nothing but bloodlust if he's half the man he should be.
