“To Live Is To Change”

 

                                    How true are the words of Greek philosopher Heraclitus, “To Live is to Change”. Change –Apparently a very small word contains within it a bulk of definitions. Change may occur within the Physical realm where we can see it substantially or it may occur within non-physical realm where we can only feel it or sometime we remain totally oblivious of its occurring. Nevertheless change is consistently and continuously occurring in our lives as well as around us, as it is said:

                                    “All things …are in a Flux like a river.”

                                    How important Change is, in our lives? This question can be answered just by realizing the fact that change, in some way or other, is related to the process of growth. We can observe the growth of a helpless infant into a strong person. Every stage of this growth from infancy to childhood and from childhood to youth brings about a lot of physical, psychological, and emotional changes in his life. Without these changes taking place at a proper time, he would have been developed into a retarded and abnormal person. That defines the significance of change as:

                                    “Change is the Law of Life” (J.F.Kennedy).

                                    When we look around us we find that not only the world and our self but the whole universe is a manifestation of Change. The continuous movement of stars and planets, the ever-changing seasons and the hide and seek of the day , the night, the beating of Heart , the coming and exiting Breath and the continuously flowing blood all of them are accompanied with several changes and symbolize “Life” . As soon as these signs of life will cease to exist, life would be finished .The history of World depicts so many change like the throning and dethroning of the mighty kings, the rise and the fall of great nations , the Revolutions and the Catastrophes changing the face of the world represent the same phenomena of consistency of change. All these signs and symbols force us to believe that if anything in this world has the permanence and consistency then it’s only “The Change”.
