Fear of change is a crippling position to be afflicted with. When I have found a place that I feel comfortable with and wish to maintain, I am actually being selfish. Being selfish in some respects is okay but when it has an adverse effect on others then it is not okay. Life is all about change. There is nothing that stays static. We may wish for the status-quo to remain but that is an illusionary wish with no hope of happening. Our models for society are in constant need of upgrading and holding to the older models as ideals when intelligence and technology have moved beyond them is just wrong. For whatever reason, fear or ulterior motive, the older models must adjust with the constantly changing nature of life. We learn that to live together in society we must have a structure that occupies us in constructive ways. Otherwise chaos and the baser instincts of humanity will dominate. By adjusting our concept based around the value of life we may find different and unique ways to make the living experience fruitful and full of discovery. No structure for living is greater than one single life. When we are able to recognize this and develop along that line our society will reflect what it is to be human with dignity and respect. Do not fear change, it is natural and right when the change reflects the better and best of what humanity is all about.
