Refusing to Change (Learn)

The fatal error in every life -- is refusing to change when everything in life is telling them they must change, and adapt to the new -- because life is always changing.  Instead, they will insist that life (the world) must change to accommodate them -- and so things do not work out so well forevermore.  Their fates have been sealed -- and only await the inevitable predictable outcome.

It always begins predictably enough -- with one thing going wrong -- and then another, yet they refuse to change -- thinking the outcome will be different.  Of course that is the very definition of insanity -- doing the same thing over again -- thinking the outcome will be different this time.  The world doesn't work that way.  There is a reason why things happen -- and not just because one wishes they would otherwise.

That is the point of no return -- when a person is not coming back.  They may have gotten lucky a few times -- but mistake good luck for a reason, and one day run out of luck -- and that car that never appeared before, does show up at the most inopportune time.  It doesn't matter how many times nothing happened before -- because all it takes is for it to happen once -- to alter their course in life, or even to end it.  So they adopted no precautions or preparations -- but hoped that they would always be lucky.

There is a silver lining when bad things happen without fatal consequences: it is a warning to be better prepared for the next time when one might not be so lucky -- and to be well-prepared for even worse -- by creating an extra margin for safety, to ensure that things do not go fatally wrong.  Yet even despite one's best preparations and planning, there is no guarantee that nothing can go wrong.   One just hopes that they fall within one's range of tolerance and preparations -- as the best they could have done -- and logically had reason to expect.  Living forever, is guaranteed to no one -- and in fact, remaining youthful throughout one's entire lifespan would already be a remarkable achievement -- but forward-looking people, are working on it -- some more successfully than others.

The proof is in the living -- that is to say -- that it does not matter what one thinks they know about achieving that, but how they manifest and embody that in their own living of of that truth and knowledge.  Otherwise, to claim to know much -- or anything at all, is the proof of one's living -- and livelihood.  Obviously, to give health advice but be in poor health and condition themselves, gives one very little credibility -- despite how many others claim it is true also.  What matters is that they manifest that truth of which they claim has merit -- and not that it works but none of its adherents and practitioners have yet to manifest and embody it.

Their knowledge is just theoretical and academic -- and we should just leave it at that -- that they have all the answers -- because they have all the certifications that that is so.  So there is this world of knowledge which is never demonstrated and manifested -- that they are insistent must be believed, and never bother to look beyond -- to find out how this information is related to actual living and experience.  It may even be in fact, that everything they believe to be true -- is not how they live and actually experience life and reality.

That is pretty scary to contemplate -- but explains why things go monstrously wrong, when one expects that everything is going right.
