Growth Requires Change

--------------------------

You have two options: either you can adapt to the changes in society, or society can adjust to accommodate you.

Adults are supposed to change and adapt, as the surrounding environment is unpredictable and constantly shifting. This has been the practice of our ancestors for generations. It's only in the past century that there has been an increased expectation for society to conform to individual needs.

This shift has led many to feel entitled to permanence, to believe that their current state should remain unchanged indefinitely. The drive for personal growth and adaptation, the kind of entrepreneurial energy that thrives on change, is dwindling. In an unfortunate sense, people have become conservative, that is, resistant to change, focusing their efforts on preserving the status quo, even if it means forcing everything else to adjust.

This struggle is the conflict we see unfolding today. We often hear groups demanding others to change without considering the necessity of personal growth and adaptation. This is more than stagnation – it's a step backwards.
