To Change or Not To Change

The paradox of our lives is that we love new stuff, but we freak out at the slightest change of routine.
We have easily adapted to consumerism and we feel the need of new clothes, new electronics, new cars, new flowers etc. all the time. However, if there is a change in our neighbourhood or the traffic is closed on a Monday morning on our street, you will hear a lot of swearing. And so, I have to admit, I am a little bit confused: we want new, but without a change. Now, that will never get us anywhere further. Or maybe we work with small changes, not being able to adapt to sudden changes.
We are the generation of bigger, better, faster, more, but we miss out on essential, life, mystery or useful. If we kept in mind also the last ones, maybe we would feel a little bit happier and embrace the new in whatever shape and sudden change it would come. Bigger is not always useful, better is not always essential, faster is not about life, more is killing the mystery. And the thing is we have a life to live and we are in a rush to the finish line, but we miss out on the "take a breathe to feel life".
