Which is sillier?

It is said that the only thing constant in this world is change! So, in a way yes, I agree with your view that we must respond to change as and when it comes and as per our own convenience. Just coz everybody is buying the latest TV does not mean that I part with my old one which is perfectly OK and has all the channels I need. And then again, it would be foolish for me to break my back over a tub of clothes when I can afford to buy a good washing machine!

6 and half a dozen grandpa. both are senseless. continuing with electronics i think getting the newspapers online was fantastic - now i can look at different takes on a story without having to buy half a dozen newspapers (which i wouldn't do anyway). ebooks on the other hand are in my opinion pointless.

For me, change is something we need to do when we might be unhappy with something in our life, and ready to do something to make it different. It is not nothing anyone else can do, and I feel that it must come within. Until we are unhappy with something going on in our life, we will never change it, and even if someone else tries to tell us what we need to do, it is up to us for sure.

I think change for the sake of change is the silliest. I partially believe in the idea that if its not broke then don't fix it. I say partially believe because if a task is extremely hard to do and someone invents a tool that makes it a lot easier then I think it is wise to change as it may well save someone's health. That is where technology originally came from but it seems to have been take too far. Inventing the spinning wheel was a good idea as it made the task easier and quicker and gave women more time for other things. The machines that eventually took over the tasks of spinning and weaving make finer products but put a lot of people out of work and damaged the environment. We did not need them but people wanted the finer product. I see nothing wrong with refusal to accept change. A lot of change is not in the interests of everyone. An interesting example of this is happening in china at the moment. They are bulldozing an ancient city on the grounds that change is good for the people but the people see it is as an attack on their culture. They see nothing wrong with their life. The Chinese government says the modern high rise buildings are healthier but the people just see it as an attempt to destroy their complex social connections and that is what happens when they are forcibly moved into these new buildings. I think they are right to resist this sort of change as it is not in their best interests at all.

There are a lot of people that just don't like change. Personally I'm ok with it but if I have a way of doing something that pleases me...I'm not so eager to change it. I will..but maybe not right away..lol. I think that change is a part of life no matter how you look at it or what is changing.
