Change--As good as a rest?
Monday, December 20, 2004
I don't know if that is a legitimate saying or another one of my grans' classic home-grown ones! But you may recall that Screwtape said one of the devils' best tools was "the horror of the same old thing." Ain't that the truth? Some folks are afraid of being bored if they don't make big changes in their lives. And everything will be become mundane and monotonous and meaningless. Other folks have the horrors of the same old things from their lives repeating in various ways and making an ongoing ever-lasting chain or chasm that cannot be broken.
Me, I fall somewhere between the two, with a bit of both at times seemingly over majorly significantbut still both grounded in fear.
So, the Crazy Calvinist is breaking out of this mind-set, and far it be from me to think about making any New Years resolutions, cos I always ended up busting them when I did! But are gonna make lots of new leaps into the future, which considering how things are, how they are likely to be, feels like one small step for mankind, and one jumping off a cliff for moi!
i dislike change in any format. It takes me a while to catch up with it and actually get used to it. seemingly much longer than the average person. It takes my brain a while to catch up with the reality that change has actually gone ahead and happened in any area. I dont know about this change thing being as good as a rest. Bloomin' Heck!!! I need a flippin' rest to try and cope when it keeps happening! !But change is progress right? not always I agree but that's actually the intent in many instances. So, I am not sure what areas exactly I am seeking to change, except to quit being a scardy cat with change itself!!! But, come next year, Houston, we have lift off!!
