Change. What is too much change? What is too little? Why are most people prone to one extreme or the other?

The common saying is that everyone is "scared of change" - but I don't think that's entirely true. There are individuals that crave change. They love the drama of always having something new to think about, to talk about, to live for. There is something to be said for finding your niche in this world and pursuing what you love, but the danger in this thought process is getting so used to the mental activity that improvement never happens. It's impossible to build on that which doesn't have a foundation. Where is progression?

Then there's those that hold firm to the old "fear the unknown" dogma. They take so much security in their habbits that again, there is no desire for basic advancement. People don't like having inconveniences, and change requires mental and physical adjustments. It seems like a chore so some would just rather accept the status quo. Where is breakthrough?

..So how do two counteracting viewpoints bring us to the same conclusion?

(Have I asked enough questions? Probably, but I don't care because they're rhetorical :D )

The constitution in 1776 brought about change.
The Dred Scott Decision in 1857 brought about change. (The Dred Scott Decision was when our supreme court ruled that black people are nothing more than property.)
The Emancipation Proclomation in 1863 brought about change.
Nuclear weapons in 1945 brought about change.
The assassination of Kennedy in 1963 brought about change.
Boston College defeating Miami in 1984 brought about change. (Down by 4 with 48 seconds left, Doug Flutie heaves to glory. Epic.)
Kirby Puckett passing away in 2006 brought about change.
Mark Zuckerberg brought about change.
Barack Obama brought about change. Wait, did I miss the fine print? Anyway..

Change happens. Good and bad. What matters is how you react to "bad" change and how you promote "good" change in your life and in others lives.
