What do you wish would never change and what do you most want to change?

All things change. Failure to recognize this universal truth ultimately results in suffering. And so to free ourselves from suffering we must accept without difficulty that all things change. This is the basic teaching and wisdom of Buddhism. Easier said than done, right? So let's just say for a minute that you had two wishes - one a wish to change something and the other a wish to make something unchangeable. What would you change and what would you make constant?

I think this is a duplication of the same thread. Anyway here's what I wrote for the earlier one which is relevant to this also. First I will have to consult the scientists and find out what animals are actually pests and are not needed here, including bacteria and viruses. I will rid the world of all those things, that will be the change. All those earthquakes and tsunamis are due to the changes in the earth's continental plates. So I will fix them up so that they will never change.
