If there is something that others say will make you a "better" person, there's a chance that they actually mean, "someone I will like better". People are, in a small way, like coffee. There may be "bad" coffee, and "good" coffee, but, in the end it's still coffee, and, how people classify it on the scale of bad - okay - good - better -best depends a great deal on their taste, not on the badness or goodness of coffee itself. Give a freezing man a hot cup of coffee, and he will think it's the best he's ever had. Move to a place where only one kind of coffee is available, and, eventually, you will believe THAT coffee is what normal tastes like. Starbucks $4 coffee tastes, to me, what mess hall cooks dredged out of their urns at 2 AM, and Folgers Instant is delicious. Maybe you're already a "better" person. If you WANT to become what that thing will make you into, that's fine. Just be sure you don't lose somebody you like in the process...the person you have already worked so hard to become.
