So I have been thinking that LD practice is one of those hobbies that has the potential of changing one's own personality drastically.

LD practice encourages self awareness and self improvements and it can be very empowering.

I know I changed drastically during my freshman year in college 20years ago, and of course college certainly had a large impact on that but I think it is not a coincidence that this was the year when I was into LD practice.

I came back to LD practice earlier this year because I did not like certain aspects of my personality and I wanted self improvement, and I knew LD practice was good for that.

We tell newcomers to the hobby that LDing is harmless, but is it really? Any hobby powerful enough to dreastically change one's personality has got to have the potential to do harm if one is not careful.

What do you think?
