many times people dont change, but relationships change that puts an individual in a different light than what was known before, thus changing our perceptions.
just like science and discovery, the knowldege at present is the truth but which changes through time and progress.
As we search deeper for the ultimate truth of life in science, do we draw nearer to the light or otherwise?
Similarly, as we spend a longer period of time with another person in whatever relationship we are in, does our knowledge and understanding of him/her deepen ? or are we groping in the dark, trying to find a certain definition of his/her character?
We are only able to see particular facets of a person's true character, which many a times are influenced by our own presumptious beliefs and mindsets, something that we cannot eliminate completely from ourselves (could it be based on our genetic make-up? does every aspect of our life have to be linked to our genetics, like so many others state?)
