Is change over-rated?

I benevolently believe in a saying which claims: I can only control what’s in my control, but change is always worth a risk.

Change is overrated. Generally human tribes avoid rapid change which leaves people insecure and frightened. It generates psychological impact on the human mind as the ones who are sensitive it becomes looming as change tends to make them uptight and for the confident ones change becomes a medium where they can challenge themselves to make things better.

It’s true that people hardly accept any change be it in oneself or society. Because there’s a human tendency to run away from every new thing and thereupon, change becomes one of them.

As we bask so much in our comfort zone that we develop this idea of being right or perfect to attain any success out of one particular methodology.

We just do not move on. We immerse ourselves deeply and live in nearly perpetual fear of not being able to repeat that one time miracle. We eventually become that worst agony, a one hit wonder. And it’s then that we begin the process of paralyzing ourselves.

Also because of this we tend to manage the changes occurring around hence losing the value of this changeover.

On the contrary, some want to change because they want to make things perfect and therefore the term is often used blindly with the assumption that change is synonymous with improvement. Because of this assumption, people gravitate towards anxiety and thus hesitate to change.

Hence, in the larger scheme of things, change is the one honest path and if I may enunciate, the only path to liberation. It moreover becomes the only function available, allowing us to breathe, grow and develop ourselves.
