Why Necessary Change is So Slow to Occur
Have you ever wondered why changes needed in our society, or anywhere for that matter are slow to occur?
I am sure there are philosophic, economic, socialandanthropological reasons that peoplecan cite for the slowness of significant change to occur, but for me it is simple
We all want the other guy to change, but we are slow and resistant to changing our own actions and ideas.

Change is hard, but perhaps if we were all as eager and willing to change our ourselves as we are demanding that others change, It would not be quite so hard and slow.
An interesting quote on the subject
So when Obama promised "hope & change" it was all a con job ?
No, he was "hopin'" for a "change" and got plenty of them.
There's also another reason change is slow-- our Founding fathers deliberately made it that way.
Some forms of gov't are not open to change--- a dictatorship that won't change, regardless of whatever the people want. Obviously not good.
Then there's the other extreme-- governments that are excessively "open to change". In other words-- they are unstable. Some keep getting overthrown at regular intervals.
Either extreme is not a good thing.
I'm sorry, but that is rather a "vanilla pudding" type of philosophy.
Plus a change, plus c'est la mme chose.

I am sure there is a "spicy" version of the same message out there somewhere if you look for it!

There have certainly been changes galore during the current administration, not all people applaud them all, but no one can say that nothing has changed with a straight face.
Thanks for the feedback

Not at all
There has been plenty of change and people are still hoping for more changes.
The promise was kept whether you like the changes or not

An interesting way to look at it
Thanks for sharing that perspective

Absolutely true, though it is hard for us to see at a single point in time you are correct
