    “fix the devil” makes it sound like: If you are in an abusive relationship, you should just stick with it and continue to suffer and eventually you’ll convince the abuser to stop abusing.

    Which is terrible advice, because that’s never going to happen.

        But that’s so unlikely that NOBODY should ever expect it to happen.

        Sometimes guns misfire, but nobody should EVER stand in front of one and expect that to happen.
