When you're young change is exciting, adventurous, mysterious and maybe a little scary. When you're older change is suspicious. Because?

The "because" is easy peasy. If it is caused/controlled by humans and purposeful that means there is something in it for them and almost always at the expense of others. Normal humans don't do things because they are right or honorable or brave or patriotic. They do what's selfish and serves their own best interests. With rare exceptions all politicians are blackhearted self-centered crooks. The ABNORMAL folks...not the normal...are the ones who rise above their own self-interests and do things that most of us would never do. They do what they do to benefit others often at great expense to themselves. They are the good, the brave, the few. Just my opinion. What's yours?

    I believe we were created selfish because first of all we need to survive.  And in order to do that we need to think of ourselves and our own. But we were also created to get on with one another which is what religion, laws, society, charity, and various institutions are about. Right is I think important to most people but we realize that we can't be "right" all the time! So we are "right" as much as we can be.  The criminals are those who don't look any farther than themselves and theirs and do not acknowledge in practice  the rights of others.
