When change happened, it was almost always for the worse, and thus it was to be avoided as much as possible. What you wanted was quiet and stability, because when those things were disrupted, human suffering went through the roof.<br /><br />The latter mindset is the product of a world in which change is constant, and people have realized to some extent that an unwillingness to change is tantamount to suicide. People still yearned for quiet and stability, but increasingly they recognized that there would come a time when a lack of change would leave them vulnerable, and allow others to decide their fates for them. They could either embrace change, or have it forced upon them.G. Verlorennoreply@blogger.com
