Change is the only consistent- a moniker that is true, yes, but only on a level that is truly meaningless to us as people, as a society.  History proves this somehow obvious truth, false.  All it takes is a short trip through history.

We, as a society are having the same conversations, almost the exact conversations, about the same concepts (such as rights, religions, politics and justice) and have been for some time.  For example, do a short research stint on slavery, or women’s rights and read the arguments for keeping the former and fighting the latter.  Bigotry is consistent but in a changing way.

The world that we have created is getting better, that much is fortunately true, but the battles that the good are fighting are the same battles that the good have fought since the dawn of man, which is much less fortunate.

Consider if real change was actually possible, these “debates” and political debacles would be non-existent.  Women wouldn’t make less than men, and racism would be accepted as a human weakness based in ignorance and considered as such by everyone.  We would not be “discussing” the evidence behind climate change, and still making decisions on antiquate belief systems that weren’t that good in the first place.

Real change is possible, but not through policy.  Real change is only possible with the change, or even giving up of ideals and ideologies; real change is only possible when fear is controlled and violence quelled at almost every level; real change is only possible when we as a society change our motivation from greed to good.

But again, change is the only consistent-a moniker that is true, yes, but only on a level that is truly meaningless.
