I have this attitude of thinking in
the opposite direction you know as a factist writer it helps a lot because with
this am able to look at the fact behind what is been argued on. Something
happened that made me thought in the opposite direction concerning this popular
saying “CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING IN LIFE” and with that I was
able to realize that Change isn’t the only constant thing in life. For you to
understand where am coming from you should be ready to also think in the
opposite direction.
Like many other popular saying that
we have so much believe in, if you have ever thought of thinking about it in
the opposite direction then you might probably notice that not all those saying
are right or should I say probably not all of them will be entirely true. For
example let take a look at this saying “THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO SUCCESS”,
for me I believe this saying isn’t complete. I feel the right thing should be “THERE
IS NO EASY WAY TO SUCCESS NIETHER IS THERE A EASY WAY TO ACCEPT FAILURE”.
This means to be successful you have to work hard but also been a failure needs
an extra work, failure is not failing jamb or having an extra year in the
university, failure is when you finally give up on that thing you really want
not because you can’t but because you don’t have faith in it or probably
because you don’t believe in the dream anymore. I would love to explain further
but because this isn’t the main issue I will let you do the thinking and see if
you can think in the same direction I was thinking.
I was with someone last week, we got
talking and there was something about what he said that made me realized that CHANGE
ISN’T THE ONLY CONSTANT IN LIFE. He said as one of his family member were
celebrating the born of their new child another family member of his were all
in tears concerning the death their mother, I told him that is the way life is
we can’t always have it both ways. Later that night when I was on my bed I
thought about the conversation I had with him and then it hit me. Just to be
sure and understand what just came to me I got up and took a dictionary as I
search for the meaning of the word CONSTANT and it says “something that
happen every time, keep happening again and again”. Then I started to
connect the dot of what I thought of, it is said that every human being must
die and in a way that has made death something that will keep happening over
and over again and looking at the world today death is been recorded all over
even as you are reading this write up someone somewhere is dying. If this is so
it only means one thing which is the fact that DEATH IS ALSO A CONSTANT
THING. If the definition of CONSTANT is anything to by with then am
guessing by now you would have realized that CHANGE IS NOT THE ONLY CONSTANT
THING IN LIFE, this doesn’t mean Change isn’t a constant thing in life but it
shouldn’t be said to be the ONLY THING that is CONSTANT in life. Now I guess
you can see the reason why I said the saying “CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT
THING IN LIFE” as incomplete so am of the opinion that the saying should be
rephrased as “CHANGE AND DEATH ARE THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CONSTANT IN LIFE”
and that is because as man is prone to change so also is man prone to death, as
a matter of fact as a change occur in one man’s life, death is also occurring
in the life of another man. Unless you can vividly tell me when and where in
the world was it recorded that nobody died then I might stick with the saying
that CHANGE IS THE ONLY CONSTANT THING IN LIFE but as much as death keeps
occurring over and over again, then I will proudly say “CHANGE AND DEATH ARE
THE ONLY THINGS THAT ARE CONSTANT IN LIFE”. Thank you
good thought. I like the mode of argument...
