Necessity, the mother of invention (#1409)

In the human experience this is an absolute. Whenever our species has had a need to progress and improve we have found a way. We are not a static species. What the proof is of my claim is that we can imagine. No matter what new or unknown concept has us perplexed we continue to find ways to confront and overcome them. It is natural for us, like our curiosity has exposed. Imagining is our link to progress, otherwise we would be still stumbling around with luck as our only tool for making life more interesting. That we can imagine is dynamic. It is the destiny of our species to take what we have and create from it. The paradigms of the past are not current for today's never ending merging generations. We simply apply the foundations of what is already known to what we think can become. As we work the research and development of new formulas and materials, entwined with theories and philosophies, we reckon out new methods for not only our ease and comfort in this existence but we are also progressing toward exploration of the great void around us. Stasis is only for rest and then off we go again. So when I hear people say that they want things to be like they were in the past, first, things were never like they think they were and second, the past cannot be attained, so anyone forwarding such nonsense is either unaware of the meaning of their own words or they are trying to sell something no one can have. We have only our present and our future so allowing ourselves to express our natures without causing harm to ourselves or others, is when we will be able to move through time in the most advantageous way.
