What is convenience apart from seeking pleasure and avoiding pain ;)

No one bases his actions purely on the ideals of truth and reason. Actions are amalgam of the desperate need to avoid pain and seek pleasure, and of identity. Identity itself is mostly made of thin air, chance and external stimuli, and can encompass "virtues". Identity itself is malleable and generally goes out the window when faced with the reality of undergoing pain, or of achieving great pleasure. And that is how people "change".
