THE CHANGES OF TIME
Times do change and people need to change with them or risk being inundated with cumbersome leftovers from the past.
There is no need to carry excessive baggage if you wish to continue the journey as comfortably as possible. I think we have all done enough traveling to have learned that one travels best when one travels light., and with a sincere willingness to leave some of ;conveniences behind. Luggage which does not conform to the set requirements of the airline or these set by the designer of the family car, automatically, become “excess” and can be eliminated without serious inconveniences or discomfort.
I sometimes feel that things go along with greater speed now than they did a few years ago.. Fads are no more than introduced before they are declared to be “old hat” by some other segments of our rather complex social scheme. Young people seem to be on a constant treadmill of change even though it may well be a return to something they used to feel was different and, therefore, good. Changes come more quickly than before.
The extension of our capacity for conceptual planning should bring about some changes to better our way of living. Our record of using our discoveries wisely may not be the best, but there could be a chance that we may use this tremendous sweep of technical advances - once cw come to comprehend what it really encompasses - may, perhaps, learn how to better govern ourselves and to dwell in peace with others about us
One of the prime attributes of our present governing system is that it, too, is subject to change.. The modifications may no be imposing and may even go undetected but our government structure changes with each national election we hold.. Some such shifts, however small, will result in the relationship between authority and citizenship by the actions we favor.
common people of the nation to be drawn together for the common good.
We need to become more aware of the responsibilitywe hold. Can we bring about that strength which is found in unity?
We need to be aware of of aware that change will evolve. We align our lives with many change which take place in our work-place. We can't simply stand still there and progress. We have to go with the changes and see how they can best work for us. We should be ammendable to worthy changee, but not charmed by it into hasty acceptance of plans which are not examined with care. There are subtle things about the way we look at things from generation to generation, and some will differ with principles we have known for many years. There will be such changes in the future and we have to learn to see each as it is and follow the barriers of awareness as they are pushed forward. We need to be aware, too, that not all chance is presented in its true light.. Move toward change willingly, but wish extreme caution. Some “changers”,.remember, have not changed. Beware of that which does not change.
