Change - good or bad?

Change - good or bad?

  • If we all have plans to reach A from B, then there’s no need to take a different path, and we can all learn from our peers and take the same course. Remember that “Boring” gets the work done. Not changing, being dull, and getting bored can also be good for your creativity and self-reflection.

  • But is change always bad? Change can be necessary. An internal change can make you a better person and break the everyday routine. When you accept change, it’s a reassurance that bad times won’t last forever. A change also allows to replace the old and worn out things with new and more beneficial ones.

  • Not all changes need to be wrong, and similarly, not all changes need to be labeled as good. All events are objective, and sometimes it’s better not to have an opinion on everything, and it’s better not to extrapolate our decisions and experiences onto anybody else. For example, leaving a job might be suitable for one but not for another. It’s only our opinion that says if something is good or bad.

But that’s just my take. Comment and share yours.
