Change is the Only Constant
If there's one thing I've realized in this life of mine, it's that change is a constant. Nothing in life is sure except for change. In our own personal lives, change can happen very quickly. In the collective lives of culture, time, economies, and ecosystems, change can take forever. Yet it is still there, moving ever so surely forward.
Twenty years from now, my world will be completely different. I have no idea what new technologies will be invented. I have no idea what catastrophic events will occur. I don't know where I'll be or who will be with me. It's an unknown. The only given, and constant, is change. It will happen.
The group of close knit friends from high school will all have moved in completely separate paths the second they leave high school. Some of them still remain close, but, eventually, each friend will pursue his or her own path. Ten years down the road, they may not even speak to each other again. The differences in their daily lives will be so vast that there will not be a bridge to breach those differences.
People change, personalities change. Bodies change, the earth changes. Everything changes. It has taken me a long time to reach this point in my life. It's taken me a long time to accept things will not be the same. I have realized that people and situations will not be the same; sometimes for the better, sometimes for the worse. Personally, my changes have been wonderful for me. I watch friends changes around me and it is a wonderful thing to partake in. I watch history and cultures change every single day. There are things we can do now that were inconceivable twenty years ago. In another twenty years, the changes will be as immense.
Change is watching history fly by at earth shattering speeds.
