Change! A word that means edit, modify, mend or be different. Everyone is affected by this epidemic. Most times, tangibles and intangibles around us change and some times we within ourselves change or well are compelled to change. uhh.. too much repetition right? But cant help it it actually occurs more often in reality.
What occurred to me the other day was the fact that certain changes always give us an option of accepting or rejecting them. For instance, people, like say friends were different when you'll got pally and then change over a period of time. At that point the onus is on you whether to change with them or remain where you belong, depending on which your future intimacy with them is defined. I wish changes like real estate and gold prices gave us an option to reject them in a democracy but well may be most of us accept it so its not changing!
Technological change is a boon. Invention of airplanes, operating systems, cell phones, robots, e-payments has simplified life for most of us or shall I say people who are willing to change with it and like it. People from old school are still finding their feet in this environment.
Good and Bad is subjective but may be suitable and not suitable is not. Could we control situations that we want to change and the ones we don't ? May be Lata Mangeshkar or Egyptian citizens would know? All said and done all for all of us to think alike is a dream as real as a fairy tale. We all fall privy to uncontrollable changes because of that but we still have the option to hold our own may through rebellion or may through losing the changed person or object. That is still a change from the current situation. Thus, the title.
so true!

The problem is that people are too rigid in their expectations of change (value rigidity). I saw this in myself (idealistic with an uncomfortable understanding of reality) when I was bicycling from Istanbul to Rome. The first day I was so worried about making sure everything is perfect and that I was exact on time and what not, that I forgot to be amazed by my surroundings.
ReplyDeleteAs long as we keep trying our best, some change will eventually come and all that we must do is have faith and enjoy the ride that comes along with it. The change may not be ideal, but at least we will make some kind of progress. Even if all we get is failure, like a flat tire, there is abstract progress in terms of life lessons and other opportunities. However, most of the time, with this mentality we get much further than we can even dream of; for instance, covering a 3-day riding leg from Napoli to Rome in just 2-days. Or how the Egyptians took control over the center with the faith that as long as they keep holding on to the center something will eventually change sooner or later.
