Change

I read this somewhere a long time ago: It seems that everyone has a vested interest in something, and consequently we will go to almost any extreme to avoid change. We expend a considerable amount of energy trying to keep things just the way they are. To confront change is to confront a threat to our place in life, to our self image. The tides of change lap at the foundations of our lives, eroding those things which are vital to our self understanding and our relationships with people and the world around us. We're committed to the proposition that the best way to do anything is to do it the way it has always been done. To do otherwise is to be lacking in compassion. It's unpatriotic, even treacherous. There's security in following the herd; being a part of it.
