The world is constantly evolving, while the family endeavours to stay the same. Updated, refurbished, modernised, but essentially the same. A house in the landscape, both shelter and prison.

About This Quote

The world is constantly evolving, while the family endeavours to stay the same. The world is constantly evolving, and everyone has to take part in that change. The world is not static; it is always changing and that means that we can’t stay put and be stagnant. If we don’t change with the times then we will end up falling behind and be left behind.

It is impossible to keep up with everything that happens in the world, let alone live your life according to what the world tells you to do. We must all make choices and take action and no matter what we do we will make mistakes. We will make bad decisions and we will make poor decisions but those who have been brave enough to do things differently have been able to achieve great things.
