Evolution means change, but change is not always progress, is it? Nowhere in the theory of evolution does it say that evolution is destined to become a better version of what we already are, change is always by adaptation.
We live in times of great changes, but, changes for what?
We are really making progress or we are declining, because change can mean either.
Actually, we can even be doing both at the same time, while for some we are making progress, for others we are declining, and everything depends on the angle from which you are looking and what your interests are, because we can be moving forward in some areas, such as In fact we do, and decaying in others.
For the so-called progressives, change is always for good, because they have their sights only on what is progressing, and not on what is declining, on what is being replaced by change. On the other hand, the so-called conservatives, who are no longer conservative but reactionary, only look at what they are declining, or rather, what was stuck, because, in effect, the slogan of the presidential campaign of Trump was "Make America Great Again", great again means that it is no longer, that it declined, that the change was for the worse and that we must go back, or rather, change again, or that there was simply no change when it should have have it
In reality, change, which is inevitable, always occurs in the social body and is always presented as an improvement to the current status. Because, reflect a little, if it were not an improvement, why the change would take place at all, why someone would worry about wanting to change if it is not for something better.
Although with ups and downs, change always occurs for good in a society, or in a living organism, and rest or lack of change is always seen as synonymous with stagnation.
The question really is not whether the change is good or if we should or should not change as a society, the question really would come to be in which sector is the priority change, in which sector the change is most needed, because in a certain way, the change will always happen, the question is always where. And this is true in society, as in the entire life of a person.
Do not cling to the static, lest you want to remain motionless, the change grabs you devoid.
