Change, We Can Tolerate?
I know that the word change is the word of the year with Barack Obama being elected president, but not all change is good change. Sometimes change can sneak up on you out of no where and completely rewrite your plans in life. Other forms of change are when maybe someone you wanted to date seemingly had a lapse in judgment, and did something they always preached to not do. No matter what the change may include, there is always change, and there always has been change.
A lot of people have a very hard time dealing with any kind of change, and this leads them to mental anguish, depression and sometimes suicide. To these people, change is not about doing something for the better of another thing, or to better themselves, its about learning new things, coinciding with everyone else’s change and trying to be the person you were before all this change came and screwed everything up.
I think that’s what a lot of the problem is today. People truly fear change.
With our new president Barack Obama being elected, there has been a lot of talk of change. This has caused a wave of fear across the south, where most of the people who are set in their ways in traditions as well as financial matters do not want to change anything about the way they live. If you’ve never driven down highway 1 into Golden Meadow and Cut Off, Louisiana then you’d have no idea what I’m talking about. There is a way that things are done, and its been done that way for hundreds of years, and it’s not going to be something you can dictate someone to change their ways about. Recently, Louisiana has made it law to show on the label where the seafood comes from, this has angered a lot of people as they tend to fill their void with Chinese crawfish. It’s not that people have a problem with Asian crawfish, it’s just another thing that has to be changed in order for one goal to be reached. Louisiana people do not fit well with a change.
A few of my friends have gone through some change. Some for the better, some for the worse. Some even go back to old relationships in hopes that it will be the same and in that case, they’ll find that nothing has changed. However that leads to life’s biggest argument with itself. Staying with a person is the same, leaving them is change, being single is change. Sigh. I guess some people never learn.
