Everything about our 'biological-ness' is really about change. The developmental stages are all change. We all grow bigger through life. We go through a brief period of fast growth, then switch over to a period of reproduction. These things are true for all life forms.
We share, with ALL biology, this unanimous and ubiquitous feature. We change.
The universe also changes. The laws of thermodynamics essentially describe these changes. Physics studies the how's and what's about these changes. We take what we learn and flip it over in time to try and predict how things will change in the future.
If there's one thing you can count on in life (biology), it is that things will change.
If you don't like the weather, wait a big. It will change.
When I googled quotes about change I was surprised to find out there hasn't been more said about this phenomenon. This truism. This, dare I say, FACT.
There really aren't many. . . maybe NO other things we can be as sure about that things are going to change in the world. On a regular and recurring basis.
In fact, there might not be much more to really know or understand.
Yet, and here's the PARADOX, our lives today are very much obsessed with NOT changing. With ending change. With forcing a stop to a process that is as real and universal as life itself.
Talk about a cognitive dissonance.
Or banging your head against the wall.
With the introduction of the Evolution Paradox, I merely point out this extreme irony. That life is entirely about change, and dealing with change, yet today's societies around the globe are obsessed with trying to avoid change.
I can't think of a worse situation to be in. It's like being a fish that's allergic to water.
There is no winning in this race. The universe is going to win.
There is no energy strong enough to overcome this power.
It is useless to resist.
And, what you resist, persists.
Until we can wrap our head around and EMBRACE change, we are doomed.
And not in a dystopian way, simply in a severe amount of suffering way.
Me? I'd rather accept a minimal level of suffering, allow life to unfold and change any way it wants, and learn to roll with it, baby.
