It seems time stands still when we are young and in school. We live in a fast-paced world where things change and move along more quickly than we would like.
If you try to recreate an event that happened years ago, you will not be able to. Buildings get torn down, and people die or move away. I traveled to a place years ago as a child and went back thirty years later, and what a grave disappointment that turned out to be. Part of the town was completely gone, and the stores had boarded-up windows.
Change is a constant, and we must adapt to changes in our life quickly to survive in a fast-paced world. Computers get outdated quickly, and we must get used to a new computer every three years. In the information age, we have an answer to all our questions ASAP on our smartphones. In ten years, all banking will be done online. We check in at the airport on our smartphones and at large hospitals.
Brick-and-mortar stores suffer because we buy everything online cheaply. We should support our hometown stores, and the money that they make is put back into your local community. I like to try on clothes as I wouldn’t say I like the hassle of returning the item to the Post Office if it does not fit from the online store. Local stores help you out when you have a problem with an item you purchased from them. An online store may take weeks to get back to you.
We must support change. Changes discover new medicines and cures for illnesses that affect all of us eventually. Without change, we would stagnate and never move forward. The older we get, the harder it becomes for us to embrace change, but we must remember that change may save our life someday.
