Loving conservatism is hating change

For the most part, human nature doesn't take change too well and I must say, more often than not, it takes it terribly. Yet, everything around us is about changing. We all grow older, evolve, invent, destroy, build and today is never like yesterday and certainly won't look like tomorrow.

In the midst of all this, some people do better than others. They're the one that roll up with the punches, stay loose, don't hang up to much into the fleeting past and in the end are all the nimble, flexible and wide-open-eyed folks we all know and end up envying.

This leaves the hard core conservatives, the ones that can't take one bit more of the excessive change that pummels them, day in, day out. Think about this, next time you hear a conservative voice or see progressive ideas being blocked for no apparent good reason.

Conservatism is the brake. Change is the accelerator. I prefer the later and will make every effort to keep this orientation and remain adaptable to the end...
