It all changes, right?

Yeah, that’s what we all hear from the very beginning of a journey called life”, that it all eventually changes. But as a child you always make a face at this thought or you choose to ignore it, completely negating its existence, not even trying to think back and gain some perspective. Obviously, a child can’t do that. But don’t you think that even as we grow up we continue to hate this and still believe that “nothing changes” or for that matter we want to think that “nothing should change”. We don’t know whether we are right or not but we like to believe this to keep our belief system safe from any kind of shock. We as humans, just love to be and remain in our comfort zones. And even the slightest idea of change frightens us to the very core of our hearts.
What kind of fear is that? What change do we exactly fear? According to my experience , change is omnipresent and is inevitable. Seasons change, Weather changes, time changes, environment changes, people change, new people come in, old people go out, one’s own thinking changes, even our moods change within seconds. Everything everywhere is changing continuously. Why? Why do things have to change and not remain the way they are for eternity?
Answer to this lies in what life has to offer us. What all variety it can pose to us, what all it can teach us to shape our thinking and personality and make us a better human being. In my opinion, change is colourful and necessary. It’s vital for existence of life on Earth. Our height changes so that we are taller, a child grows teeth to eat food and become healthy, we learn how to walk so that we can run ahead in life, we grow up to experience more and more new things. Many small things change to bring about drastic variations in our living. We tend to like all the changes in our favour, but what about the ones who don’t seem to be in our favour but actually are! What about the time when you had a fight with a friend and you end up with no friendship left because both of you have your own opinions and nobody is able to convince the other one, and you just can’t figure it out? What happens when you have a serious argument with your parents, and you end up thinking that there’s a wide generation gap? What about the time when you believe that your opinion is 100% ethically correct and you are not doing any wrong to anyone but you stand against the society, but still feel a strong resistance?
All this confusion ends up in one thing and that’s “change”. And the easiest way to fight with this, is to not to. You just need to accept it. Accept that it will occur with time, and instead of whimpering about it, try to find out a solution. Try to find a common ground where the two parties can come together and accept changes as they are and can come to a common agreement to accept each other. And if in certain situations this can’t be done, then accepting it the way it is and knowing that you need to part ways in life or in opinions is not wrong, at all. I am in complete favour of this. It actually feels good. You feel much happier and calmer. And trust me, if you feel the same way, you’ve got to let it go! It’s good for everyone involved. There’s no chance that you’ll regret it, until you part ways on negative terms. But that’s fine too, sometimes you can’t mend everything because they are completely out of your control and they will happen the way they are supposed to. So let that go too. Give yourself another chance. Just know that if you feel happier so it’s happening for good and you’ll love it.
Some people might think that this way one will end up alone, without any friend or family, but that’s not the case. Remember, time changes very quickly, ans thus, new people will come in and bring about new changes around you. This cycle keeps on going, just don’t be adamant and try to hold on to something which is trying to escape your grip. Change is a process not an event, It will mould you, polish you and make you shine like a diamond.
