I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you so much.   Best wishes. bhikkhu1991 Joined on Mon, Mar 31 2008 Full Member 116 Synonyms

It may change from a state of  badness to a state of goodness.  It may then exist in a state of goodness.  Why don't you try being more friendly?  (acting)  Actually, "becoming" is the better word where a change is anticipated.
