My Thoughts On Change

It's not necessarily always good to change. When it comes down to it, society needs people who may not change, the nonconformists. I'm sure many people will tell you that you have to change, but this may not be true. This is what I believe because, if you surround yourself with good people, people who truly care about you, where you can develop as an individual, then there is nothing better in life. Society will constantly tell you to change, and that there are changes all around you that will make you different (such as going to college). It shouldn't change someone's essence, it shouldn't make them a different person. It does though, College is a savage beast that lets a person think that they're gaining control and gaining in life, but are they? You can't believe everything you hear, weather it's from word of mouth, from a book, or anywhere else. Abraham Lincoln once said

"You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Besides, if you haven't noticed, it IS true that history repeats it's self; it's just a giant spinning wheel- war, peace, war, peace, race issues, gender issues, economic issues, race issues, economic issues, war...without change, we'd be stuck. Yet it is only natural that humans are actually fairly limited. The point is that no matter how you cope with change, it's just going to happen again, so just "turn and face the strain" and embrace it, but don't mess with the cornerstone, or the structure crumbles.
