Re: Human sexuality
about change, things ALWAYS change, there's no way you can stop that.
i'm pretty sure the majority of people ARE afraid of change, but i don't think it's because they think change is bad. it's more that when something CHANGES, there's an element of uncertainty in there. it is uncertain whether the change is for the better, or for the worse. now, people aren't afraid that change is bad, but rather, they're afraid of that uncertainty element in it. i'm sure you all agree that everyone (most if not all) wants to live a happy, stable life. stability then, cannot be reached in a society where changes happen so often. that's why liberal (radical changing) movement are always likely to be opposed, not because people are afraid that the change is bad, but because people are quite happy with stability of their lifestyle at that moment that they're not willing to risk the stability for something that has no certainty. it's kinda like when you're offered a job all the way in minnessota. it says great pay, benefits and whatnot, and from the promises, it's definitely better than your current job. but you have a family. now, no matter how liberal you are, you'll have to consider your kids moving to a new school, them adjusting to new lifestyle, you adjusting to new environment. the weather, the traffic, the convenience that you might not get compared to california, all those kinds of things. you'll have to sacrifice the current stable life you're living for something that SEEMS better but you're not yet certain; that's why people are so afraid of changes.
