Although having thought about it a bit more I find both 'halves' of the para counter-intuitive.<br /><br />More words please Jim ;)<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-60209739528851441792012-01-12T20:05:58.812+11:002012-01-12T20:05:58.812+11:00Yes, there is something wrong with the sentence be...Yes, there is something wrong with the sentence beginning " Alternatively, those pushing for change..."<br /><br />But I do see the paradox of change being most pushed EITHER by the over-secure OR by the very insecure.<br /><br />I haven't always coped with change. In my personal life, for example, I tried (consciously or not?) to maintain 1995 well into this century -- in most ways very inappropriately. Not a phenomenon I will be expanding on any time soon; those who know what I mean know it and that's all that matters.<br /><br />Change is just so, well, inevitable. Everything in life and the universe reminds us of that. "Change and decay in all around I see," as the hymn says. One (or something) that "changest not" is thus very appealing.Neilhttp://neil2decade.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24338064.post-49788639240840232202012-01-12T17:59:47.640+11:002012-01-12T17:59:47.640+11:00Hi Jim
The para beginning "It's odd"...Hi Jim<br /><br />The para beginning "It's odd"<br /><br />Have read that several times without understanding. Probably my fault, but if you would expand, or reword, it would help.<br /><br />Trying to self-analyse (not a strength of mine) I'd say if I were at all insecure, I'd actually resist change as being a potential threat to my tenuous control? <br /><br />Anyway, I'm intrigued to see where you might go with that.<br /><br />kvdAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
