Insight #1

When did society make its change Around the time the good gave up the reins   Before the egotistical corrupted its veins And the storm even had a chance to break That was our downfall Ease and lax living became the dream for many But lax living is simply  contradictory  Life has no ease, only moments of liberation Moments that if you contemplated them You can grow But no one likes change if it's not planned Growth they can't contain  It's like an earthquake that does more than shakes It rumbles, it breaks Not to destroy but to make way for growth Stability is an illusion that dates back to the old It's not true  The best way to control change is to adapt Catch the wave and ride it through Waves aren't stable  You have to be willing to drown in the process If your not you'll be left swimming in the ocean And you will drown in the process Again this is where we went wrong We don't catch the wave We doggy paddle in shark infested waters while the rich and prosperous ride strong  If you want change then you must catch the wave and ride on You must observe your surroundings while readying for the storm Then embrace it You cannot fear change, you cannot hate it  You must let it mold you into a person wiser than you were yesterday And then aim to do it progressively Do not let yourself get blinded by the golden glare of life and living  Rather learn from the bad, wallow in the better, and live a life worth living
