Change (Part 1)

One of the most amazing facts modern day science has brought to us is that no two people have the same finger print, not even identical twins. More than six billion people live in the world right now. Billions more have lived and died. And if god wills, billions more are yet to be born. And the fact that none of these people have different hand structures and marks enough to give various finger prints is definitely a wonder and a cause for amazement for someone who thinks. But looking even deeper into that then the face or obvious amazement this variation shows us, we realize that in our deepest nature god has made us different from each other. No two people are the same. Everyone is unique and precious.
Another amazing fact we see in our day to day life, is time. When a tiny baby is born into our midst we celebrate its tiny life and the happiness it brings to us. It is one of the most beautiful things we see in life. And a lot of us wish the baby to remain so, young and innocent. But this is not to happen. As time goes on it starts to walk, talk nonsense and with more time it also starts making mistakes. The baby that nobody yells at or gets angry at, at its young age starts getting scolded, starts getting reprimanded, starts knowing that he too has limitations. And as this child grows further he leaves the fruits of his innocent childhood and enters arguably the most stressful, hormonal inbalanced phased in anyone's life. The woes of being an adolescent. The child starts questioning the ways and norms of the society and sometimes the parents of these children wish that their child had remained small, as the apple of their eyes but its not to be. The circle of time doesn't stop here. The child matures and thankfully, leaves his adolscent ages to become adult, he becomes responsible, he entirely leaves his childish nature and enters life as men and start battling the tides of life. And here, even these people wish that they had been able to remain as teenagers or children, innocent and carefree. But then again, it is not to be. Days become weeks, weeks become months, months become years and finally the person grows old and falls into his sick bed and once again wishes that he was young and had all his organs functioning properly but time, time doesn't stop for anything but death.
From the cycle of time i had just aforementioned, comes another fact. Not only are no two people same but even one person doesn't remain the same. There is only one explanation for both these facts. one reality.. change. Life is all about changes and change is inevitable, unstoppable and whole.
