A common life of a common man!
In terms of age, he /she will evolve from being a baby, a child, a teenager, an adult, a middle aged person, to being old and dead.
Romantically, most will be in any or many of the following brackets in a lifetime i.e., single, married, divorced, widowed, and remarried.
Health wise most of us will be in good shape at least when young. Over time most would have had some illness be it fever or cold or serious ones like cancer or paralysis.
Sexually we all have needs, high and low, desires and partners of course, may change.
We may become spiritual or agnostic over time.
What do all the above statement show you? They all talk about change.
We have always changed in life, yet, when questioned on change we all resist it. We prefer to have the same routines, patterns, and life circumstances. The only time we welcome change is when we think it’s for our benefit e.g., more money coming into our lives.
The sad truth is that nothing lasts forever be it relationships, money, or even emotions like happiness or sadness. The moon is the best example of change, waxing and waning month after month, year after year.
The points I am trying to make here are two – One, that change is the only constant of life, and second, not all change can only be what you call good. Nature gives enough examples of the same, the rivers of yesteryear have dried, dormant volcanoes suddenly become active, even the earth and sea plates shift. Both the changes you like and those that you don’t are meant for you to evolve in this journey of life. Often what you perceive as “Being bad” is part of a bigger plan of which you have a limited view.
