Finding a Single Constant

People age, Colors fade, Markets progress, Things Change.
Are there things that will remain unchanged over time?
Is there anything that will remain constant over time?

Voting had began for the new 7 Wonders of the World, with a new revelation that reflects the wants of the people coming for us in 15 days. (7th July 2007)
Architects of wonders that existed for centuries and millenniums, placed on an international stage for a show down.

Merchandises manufactured in China and other developing countries with underpaid workers floods the market places of the developed nations.
Goods produces in another country, miles and miles away, sitting there on the shelf as you walk into the local supermarkets and departmental stores. Even the beef patties on the Mcdonald burgers are flown in from who knows where to wherever you are.

DHL or UPS is able to track your package with precise Global Positioning System and provide an updated status of the item delivery, live.
People expect speed and precision, becoming citizens with an need for 25 hours days and 8 day weeks.

Is there a single constant over time, over our existence on this blue planet, that has not Changed?

Time? Space? Needs? People? Morals?

The only constant over time, is Change.
Even while a tree stands in its exact position, it changes with time.
Even while a chair sits in its place, it changes with time.

A motionless object in our eyes, moves through time, thus is changing.
A certain scenario and moment, moves through time, undetected, is still changing.

Now that we have found the single constant, Change, can we manage it? Or would we be managed by it?

Manage change? The only way we can manage change is to change as well, which is totally ironic. Because when that happens, change is actually managing us. Well, if you can't beat it, join it - go with the flow, ride the motion in the ocean. Change is good, it's the natural order of things. Zann the mannm your blog is a mind fuck... I love it!!!!
