Marcus AureliusObserve always that everything is the result of change, and get used to thinking that there is nothing Nature loves so well as to change existing forms and make new ones like them.
About This Quote
The truth is that with the passage of time, everything is changing. It is a fact that people, cities, and even the Earth itself are all changing all of this time. But as organisms, we as humans have a tendency to resist this change. We often go into denial of the fact that change is occurring around us simply because we don’t like it.
How many times have you been in a situation where someone has made a comment about how things used to be better? We cling to these thoughts and feelings as if they were a part of our identity, but they aren’t. They are simply memories from the past, not realities of the present.
