Change is NOT Wrong
Could someone, anyone, please show me the life manual that states "Change is WRONG?" If someone could just point that out, then I'll end this diatribe. Until then, I'm fired up.
It seems that I've run up against this in church, school, and just everyday life. People get angry with someone because they make a change in routine. The change wasn't illegal, but because someone didn't like it, they pitched a hissy fit as if the one making the change had committed one of the seven deadly sins.
People don't like change, and I understand why. People like their rut. It's comfortable, and they know what to expect. When a change comes, these people are forced to act or get left behind. People are just lazy. People are lazy spiritually, emotionally, and physically. When a change comes, they search for an excuse to save them from taking action. Many people spend more time fighting the change than would have spent just getting with the program.
Now I'm not stating that every single change is right on and necessary. There are some changes that are wrong and should be fought, but just because it differs from your personal taste doesn't make it wrong. I'm tired of the excuses and the refusal to step up and rearrange the current situation.
If the current situation sucks, then change it. But please, don't keep doing the same thing and expect a different result....that's the definition of stupid!
