Do you believe that change is not made without inconvenience, even from worse to better?

When talking about change, there are many questions that need to be answered. For instance, what is meant by a change, causes of it, necessity to bring it, possible consequences of it and so forth? In this essay, I will explore, briefly though, the answers to general questions related to the concept of change and inconvenience caused by it.

An object is bound to complete its life cycle that is from its birth to death. Plato, the great Greek philosopher, explains the change in his “Theory of the sub-division of the human soul”. He says that an object is conceived either through our mind or through our senses. The picture of an object that we imagine through our senses may be different or ‘transcendent’. Such a form is free from limitations of time and space whereas the perception through our mind is permanent. He further explains that a concept is a cumulative product of many objects and that they are “systematically inter-connected”. The act of an individual in a given situation with a set of an environment may be different from others dependent on the information that already exists in his conscious. It is not a matter of right or wrong but it is natural to react differently by two human beings at the same time in the same environment.

People with conservative approach like to stick with the traditional or contemporary concept and consider call for a change nothing different from being rebellious to the existing system. However, many who like to see the results with a newly adopted approach proclaim themselves to be progressive.

A fierce resistance, at least initially, is inevitable against the introduction of a new idea or an effort to introduce a change in the existing system. Traditionalists oppose the idea not because they dislike it but due to the fear of its new form that may arise. A new idea or a change occurs when the intentions are good for the system, objectives are clear, and there is an ability to exercise it practically. It is also important that instead of repelling the frictional forces, the idea should have the capability to absorb the impact of it. The attitude to bring everybody on board keeps the inconvenience to its minimum.
