Why do people make changes? There are a couple of examples. In the work place, someone is appointed or promoted to a new position with some authority, so what is the first thing he or she does? They make changes. Why? Because if they didn't they think that it would mean they were not needed in that position. Change just for the sake of change is not good and a waste of time and resources.
The same thing happens when a politician wins an election and takes office. He has to propose a bill or a law or something to prove that he was needed to be in office so that he could change things. We now have so dang many laws and regulations on the books that one can hardly get out of bed without breaking at least one of them. Wouldn't it be nice if we could wipe them all off the books and just come up with some that will benefit everyone. Isn't that what a democracy is for?
I say that I like change but in a way, I don't. Change means going into the unknown. The unknown can be a scarry place, but it is also an exciting place to go. If we do what we have always done, we will be stuck in a rut and never know what our own potential is or what all the wonders out there in the world are like. That is one reason that I like the RVing world. It gets people out of there small world and out into the real big world. Just like the blogging world, you get to meet new people and make new friends. I am tied up for week or so, but then I hope to be able to hit the road. Now, you all have a great day today, you hear?
Did I just see that you're hitting the road in a week or so????? Wow,,,go boy go...
ReplyDeleteTrouble, you know what they say about the plans of mice and men. . . I have learned never to promise, just say I will try.
ReplyDeleteThe United States is, indeed, a republic, not a democracy. Accurately defined, a democracy is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums. A republic, on the other hand, is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf.The Pledge of Allegiance includes the phrase: "and to the republic for which it stands."
ReplyDeleteWhen ya change something that works, you're jump'n into an area where it might not work no more. I'm one who likes to change (modify) most anything, as long as it fits my purpose.
ReplyDeleteI'm always griping about technology and the fact that changes are made just because they can, when often there is no great need for the change.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree with you more Dizzy on your views about change.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are planning a trip in your RV, looking forward to virtually tagging along with you :)
Justastick, you are correct. I know better, just got in a hurry and didn't think it through.
ReplyDeleteBB, I knows what you mean. I have changed things and dang if it weren't a mistake!!
Gypsy, Boy you got that right. I have used two main programs in my work, AutoCAD and Inventor. They change or update them every year. It is just to make money. I have purchased them every year up to 2010 after which I found out that the old ones do a better job.
MsB, I still hold the option of changing my views (grin). Not sure when I will go on a trip, but when I do you sure welcome to virtually ride along.
I LOVE my rut. I know where I'm going every day, and I don't need to make decisions about going left or right.
ReplyDeleteA rut is comforting for us cowards.
Albert Einstein said (in my humble translation), "If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you always got." Maybe that's good, maybe not.
ReplyDeleteLotta joy, ruts can be good. Except when I am on the road, I am in a rut. We do the same things at the same times, depending on the day.
ReplyDeleteJill, Doug Kaufmann of "Know the Cause" TV show says that also. It is good for some things but not for others.
