A great Battle is fought against a ruthless and determined enemy.You cling to fight until the last possible second. Then there is a great explosion and you fall a long way into the icy waters, You freeze solid and go into suspended animation and are found and revived 20 years later. How will you deal with a world that is 222 months more advanced than the world you knew. Will you be able to adjust? Is it even possible that you will be able to or be capable of adjusting?
We have lived our lives in an era of great and rapid change. Our society is often harsh, demanding upon and most unforgiving towards those who resist change or dare to ask the question Is this change really for the best? Is it possible that the problems that the changes that you are advocating will create far more problems than iot will solve?
These are questions that all thinking adults who want the best for themselves as well as others often wrestle with. Yet, How do people react when people wonder if the original changes need to change? What if people wonder are these past reforms and adjustments now passe or WORSE- Do they now serve as road blocks to reform and betterment ?
The people most likely to be up- in arms and ready to go to war when such ideas are raised. The old reformers- those who fought for change 10 or 20 or 30 or 40 or 50 years ago! Suddenly and stridently, Change is NOW ABSOLUTELY!!!! out of the question! What was fought for and agreed to THEN must be sustained and considered untouchable and inviolate now!
Yet, Does something get to be considered invulnerable to being changed, altered or abolished because you or I fought for it or benefit greatly from it being in place! It was a great fight, a battle nobly fought and one fought at some risk and injury to you ---or them. Yet, No one can live if they are frozen. They must be revived and live in the world as it now is! They will need to discover whether they can cope or not with the world AS IT IS TODAY!
Being unfrozen,revived and changing, as you must !!!! to be alive and thrive right now, It's not just for Captain Americas!!
