Due to advances in medical technology, organ transplants have become a new reality in the world today. Yet, only some individuals may become candidates for that procedure, with all the benefits derived from it.
Although the above happens only to some persons, all humans, unquestionably, shall need revisions in their thinking at various stages of their life, in order to provide them a new outlook and a safe direction. Fortunately this is much more easily acquired and achieved.
Dr. Synesio Lyra
It’s no virtue, nor anything to boast about, that you’ve been doing things a certain way for the past several years. While some aspects of that practice may be correct and praise-worthy, chances are that you are missing a better and more efficient way to get where you want to go, and accomplish what you desire to achieve.
Many who claim expertise on something, merely on account of having just followed a certain pattern for a long time, may be completely wrong without ever recognizing it. Minds can be made up differently, and repeatedly, in the light of new evidence on various issues. It’s insane to allow one’s brain powers to paralyze or calcify through improper actions or lack thereof.
People who constantly question other persons’ thinking and doings, would provide themselves a greater favor in also doubting some of their own conclusions! Life is always in flux, and no human is perfect! Ideas need revisions, and certain procedures often must be altered for more efficient results, for the benefit of larger numbers of people. Nothing should ever remain static!
People need to learn to differentiate between what is permanent and what is merely provisional and temporary. The problem is that so often humans attach themselves more readily to what is impermanent, while discarding practices and values that do not pass away.
Life is in constant motion; changes are expected to occur and must take place for it to move on. A new outlook on many aspects of life needs to be developed, embraced, and retained.
Nevertheless, such perspective is not to be founded on the shifting sands of any era but, rather, on those things which have been, are, and shall remain! It’s alright to change your mind about many issues, as long as you tenaciously hold on to certain values and principles which do not decay and are ever up-to-date! They are the ingredients without which life does not advance as it can and must!
