CHANGE

Of all the factors that shape human destiny perhaps the strongest is change. Empires and republics grow and fall because of change. Indeed the whole history of the universe can be summarized in the following words: “it has changed”. Though artificially simplistic it conveys a powerful fact ………nothing is permanent. Everything changes—may be for the better or the worse.

Yet we resist change. We dislike to disrupt of the familiar and fear to embrace the unknown. We like things to remain as they are. But what we don’t realize is that in the process of fighting change we transform into something rigid and rigidity never succeeds. Your effort to remain what you are is what limits you. But changes should not be made to an existing working system on counts of novelty alone. That is where many err. Blindly mimicking something, almost always leads to downfall. Instead of being swept away we should try to make an impartial judgment as to which of the alternatives is the better one. Maybe the one followed for years is followed for a reason. There are many things here which require a more deep analysis. After all if man succeeds in finding this elusive balance between tradition and invention many needless problems can be solved. An open minded dynamic society is perhaps the answer to an everlasting prosperity of the human race. Big words, aren’t they?
