Unless you are thinking for others, it is not Dharma practise. Dharma practice must be done from our heart. It is important to seek some change in our life. If not, after many years (of practise), if there's no change, then something is wrong. We always have wrong concepts. We need to change through Dharma practise. Through refuge and confessing our unskillful acts, we can then generate bodhicitta.
