Like most French people, he never stopped complaining during our conversation. “America used to be nice, it's no anymore”, “France has too many immigrants”, “I can't wait to see my kids grown up and out of the house to start living,” etc.

Lamenting change
Recently, out the blue, as I was sitting in a dentist waiting room, I ran into another countryman of mine who has lived in Park City for almost as long as I have. I don't see him often because he live a rather reclusive life and shuttles back and forth between Utah and France.
Like most French people, he never stopped complaining during our conversation. “America used to be nice, it's no anymore”, “France has too many immigrants”, “I can't wait to see my kids grown up and out of the house to start living,” etc.
My diagnostic is quite simple: The man hates change and never will get used to it. The problem is that life IS change, so how can you life happy if your can't stand the only constant in this world that is Change?
