Change is often painful. This is true in all things but especially in change of self. Yet when the person faces their own demons and emerges victorious over them, the rewards fully justify the pain of the metamorphosis.
See those who did so and you see the heroes. Slaying their own demons lights their eyes. There is a peace in that victory that fuels even more victories. Especially if they slay their biggest monster. Then the little ones head for the unknown for fear of what they would face inside the new host. There are mental, spiritual, and physical changes of self that not just reward the victor but armor the hero for the days ahead.
Helping turn victim to victor is not just right it is essential. They deserve it as well as need it. Sadly, the sadder path is also the easier one and we not just avoid the demons but feed them with sympathy and excuses.
