The only thing Constant in Life is Change


Reinhold Niebuhr once said, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

Change is a constant thing isn’t it? Every day is a new start, a new morning, a new day, the climate changes, the atmosphere changes, time changes, a second passed by or changed  cannot be retrieved.

So if we question ourselves is change really essential? May be a million times the answer to this question would be yes! Although change in one’s life is always not fruitful as expected, some may never want to grow up or be an adult, some may never want to take up responsibilities or some may just never like the idea of change in their lives.

Long lost are the days when change was not a radical as it is today, being a 90’s kid may be that just an understatement that you listen from your elders. Still it makes me wonder how life would be in the absence of all those negative feelings…such as hate, jealousy, envy, being judgmental, and a society without competition or opportunists.

It is very easy for relationships also to change today, yes am being a hypocrite for people who know me but, relationship are also made as we strive to achieve this change, for better or worse times decides…but those aren't meant to be we just “undo” those relationships.
So is change all about being so practical! It is not about what we want, but always what is expected out of us. The society sets standard for us and we need to abide to it.

Yes for the fact change is important...as it helps an individual grow, nurture his life, moreover it is a process of life that makes a man what he is… but is the society leading us towards a positive change or a negative change? Was agricultural-ism better or Industrialization or Globalization? Some changes are just not within one’s self…but an abstract of what society can be made out of!

God taught some simple rules of life he said EAT, LOVE, PRAY, but man complex-ed it he said EAT right, healthy and expensive, LOVE, lust and etc, and what is PRAY!
