CHANGE IS INEVITABLE
By:Gaurav

“Change is inevitable”

Some one I know once said, “Normal is boring”. I pondered over it for a few day and said how true! Then came another thought what is normal? & can I call something that is opposite of normal as ‘abnormal’ or should I call it “CHANGE” I just could not get over the thought for a few days. Is this someone I know is looking for change everyday in his life? Like not getting up in the morning ,brushing his teeth, going to the bathroom, having breakfast, going to college, studying , meeting friends etc……. or is he is in search for a new factor, a new unknown element everyday that fires his belly & gives him a sense of living that day, gives him a little sense of achievement………….

It has been a long time since this someone I know made me realize that change is the only thing that never changes. The most stable component in comparison to the highest complicated chemical derivative in the whole universe is “CHANGE” Mankind has been witnessing this for over centuries but has failed to accept it. We have always tried stopping change but never succeeded. The question whispers back to me again & again. Why? Why we still have not been able to format our brains to accept Change?

People have made a set of rules to live their life, a pattern that draws an outline to live life. They forget no matter how strong the plan or pattern they carve out for their life change would come from somewhere & knock their doors. It will put you in a different situation & judge your capability of dealing with it always. It would laugh on your face and ask you a question, “Accept me & become my friend & stay happy or keep crying about me & stay in past with the grievance of time”

We all know that one day the time will end for all of us & we all know that before we take that last leap we all want to be happy. Happiness is the sole goal of life for which we human live but we still waste our precious time thinking about why the times have changed or why things are not as good as before, why our old friends are not around us or how my previous job was better or why I did not choose other career etc etc……… stupid but real!!! thoughts that makes us what we are.

Time is the biggest teacher and with time, I learned how I was wasting my time all these years. Instead of changing myself with time & adapting, with the changes around, I was always trying to hold on to my self, hold on to the times I liked. I never realized the good times I was missing in present in order to hold on to the past.

I think time has brought more clarity to the thought that has made me write these paragraphs. Now I very strongly feel that we should start preparing ourselves for any change. No change should affect our goal of living. We should start preparing our coming generations with such moral values that they can adapt themselves to all the changes without disturbing the values. The bond and the unity in the families are dying because the values are getting disturbed in the process of change. We are not adapting to the ongoing continuous changes happening with our families and social circuits. The elder generation sometimes does not want to understand the younger ones and vice versa and they eventually end up blaming each other as the cause of their problems.

Now at 30 I think we should actually start making up our mind that at any age we reach (where I have the ability to think & hear) we should keep our mind open for change in order to keep ourselves happy. Even at the age of 60 or 65 nothing would demotivate us. We should be strong enough to hold onto ourselves and be as interesting as we all are now. We should be smart enough to carry all generations with us and keep them hand-to-hand & the devine force binding it all should be the values & our implication of adaptation to change.

Let us get things changed, let us expect the unexpected, let us get so much energy in ourselves that we don’t consider this as a discussion any more. Let us have a fun filled life where loosing things does not scare us, where we have emotions under our control rather than someone else controlling them.
