Right from the time of birth, we are
changing constantly. As children, we listen to parents. When we become a little
older, going to school is the first big adjustment. Freedom comes along.
Exposure comes along. And with every influence, within the family first and
later, the outside influence, changes a human being constantly. There are
paradigm shifts in belief systems, styles of living etc.
A fusion of many types of cultures,
thinking patterns sometimes confuse, sometimes help in clearing the mind.
In this process, some become better and
evolved while some become bitter and disillusioned with life.
Belief systems, unless we have an open
mind, tend to make for a certain rigidity which can become our worst enemy,
like stagnant water which breeds diseases. Rigid belief systems are often like
a disease. They block out the light of each new day.
The catch word is "change",
whether the ability or the inability to do so. On this depends the
transformation into betterment or bitterness.
