Some people we know to be wary of. It seems self-evident that we ought to avoid becoming too closely associated with those who have an explosive temper as well as people who are chronically deceitful. It is easy to see how such companions could bring great us harm.
However, there are others for whom we must be careful. One such person is the one who is subject to change. These individuals act inconsistently when you relate to them. One day they are kind and thoughtful. The next day they are self-centered and rude. One day they seem to be impeccably trustworthy, but the next day you are astonished at their brazen lack of ethics.
Relationships are based on trust. Yet you cannot place your faith in someone whose character and standards are as fickle as the changing wind. People who are constantly changing demonstrate that they have no firm foundation to their character. They are driven by passions rather than by principles. Such people have a plethora of excuses for why they change their behavior from day to day. With them, the only thing certain is that their behavior is unpredictable.
Beware of the commitments made to you by a person subject to change. They will surely cause you grief. What they sincerely promised yesterday may no longer seem binding to them today. Be careful what you entrust to them!
