"Change" is a mantra thrown about by all activists, but only in a qualified form, such as "Change we can believe in."
Well, change doesn't really work that way. Change is an inherent and
fundamental force in the natural and manmade world. Accept change or be
disappointed. We can't cherry-pick change, adopting the "good" change
and rejecting the "bad" change. It's all or... well, it's all, period.
My own personal view is that all change is inherently good. In fact, it
is the very change that we find least appealing that typically has the
most value for us, provided that we manage to effectively exploit that
change and not fight it tooth and nail.
To state it simply:
All change is inherently good, especially that change which is least desired.
If
it sometimes or even frequently seems that some particular change
appears to have little positive value or an excessively negative value,
it is most likely true that we have simply not tried hard enough to
discover creative ways to exploit that change. Maybe we simply have
blinders on or some outdated bias that interferes with our ability to
see a path to a better future that exploits that change.
