The Inevitable Inevitability


"He who rejects change is the architect of decay."


Harold Wilson
20th century British prime minister

I'm not at all certain you can "reject" change anymore than you can hold back the tide.

But it is clear that you can be an "architect of decay" by trying to do so.

I like Willy Nelson's take on this:

"Don't you hold on to 'nuthin' too long."

  2. Yes you can but should you?

    If change is inevitable, which it is, isn't it better to attempt to have something to do with the way things turn out?
