Grappling with change...

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.

— Socrates (Born 470 BC. Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as one of the founders of Western Philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher of the Western ethical tradition of thought. The Socratic method has often been considered a defining element of American legal education. This method was designed to force one to examine one’s own beliefs and the validity of such beliefs. Socrates was notorious for asking questions but not answering, claiming to lack wisdom concerning the subjects about which he questioned others. He also argued that moral excellence was more a matter of divine legacy, rather than parental nurture). 

What I find fascinating is the universality of the human condition. Whatever culture/race/gender, we tend to struggle with change, clearly, going all the way back to 470 BC. Just saying’ :) Hugs. XO
