If we wanted to be different,
we'd change. Ok. Over-simplified. Some changes are not simple recipes, but the root idea is still the same. When one wants something bad enough, an amount of effort will be exerted to achieve.
There's comfort in knowing what we know and I believe this keeps us complacent. This works against change. Learning more; expanding knowledge can only effect change if in the process of learning one can let go of what they know already. For some that may mean letting go of beliefs. For others it may just be letting go of baggage.
That's what I think most people hold on to. This is the collective agreement that adults sign in living in a civilization. We have our problems. We clutch them so tightly in these fragile hands of ours. The bags are not truly any heavier than when we first started carrying them, it's just the longer you hold on to something, the heavier it becomes as it wears you out. The strongest among us can lift a car, but how long can they hold it up? Even mental giants have that moment when heavy sets in.
If we wanted to be different, we'd change.
I've wanted to be the same and different for so long now, I'm not sure which is more desirable.

The daily jazz of my mind, as pure & honest as possible; but know that words are themselves filters of the original thought/idea.
