Change

Change happens. It is inevitable. No more than a mere man could stop the tides or control the seasons- he could as likely interfere with the process of change.  Around each of us, the world is constantly evolving and emoting. And I suppose people do the same.

There are those who would argue that all evolution is for the greater good, but I would disagree. Certainly there have been biological faux pas along the way. After all, what was the duckbill platypus all about? I wonder if the changes which surround us in our own lives can sometimes be mis-steps as well. 

Lately I feel sort of like a duckbill myself. I started off somewhere and someone much different than I am now.  Does that mean that I was left behind by evolution- archaic and misunderstood? Or have I possibly evolved ahead of my environment and am waiting for  the world to catch up with me? Either way, it is hard to be out of step.
