Heraclitus

There must always be change. The rule is, the only constant is change. No change is the worst of all, that rancid stagnancy that reeks of ineptness. Every day, I need to sense some change, facing off that intangibility that we call Eternity. Immortality in heaven is not a blessing. That is why I am not a Christian. To linger in that immutable state of existence is sheer torture.

One must change, learn something every day, get fatter or slimmer or obsolete. When I try to connect with the past I left behind, it's that bittersweet experience of utter degeneracy that makes change all the more sweeter now that that was gone. God forbid that I lapse into that hell. I see that image before me in FX, and I shudder. That mindless state of being horrifies me no end.

Have you changed today?
