Constant Change

Nothing new under the sun / Change is constant
There's an old proverb that states, "the more things change, the more they stay the same." I like to view that statement in the form of a spiral. Each year we witness the same seasons- winter, spring, summer, and fall-- yet we see them in new time. Older people ask "what is this next generation coming to?" In fact, it seems that question has been asked throughout the ages. Rebellion against the status quo, revolt against authority...it is as old as mankind. Yet, we have never lived in an age as we do today with instant communication and technological advancement. Are things the same or are they different? I say...both. That is an example of the theory of oppositional truth.
