Thanks for replying! Well, I expressed myself badly - I actually agree with you that modifying is all that can be hoped for. That said, I find that I can actually be a decent and productive human being
so long as I get continual positive reinforcement for it. So even though I'm still doing it for the sake of the affirmation, at least I'm doing it. And the more I do things for others, the more it becomes a habit to remember to think of what I can do. But yeah, I'm not claiming my wiring is being overcome - just modified.
