People

I have been thinking a lot about people and why they do what they do.
I think about this often, actually, simply because it interests me.
Obviously people do a lot of what they do just because it is the norm.
Everyone has a Facebook, everyone likes photography and being quirky (which seems to have actually created a counter effect in which everyone's quirks seem to be the exact same).
Culture influences the things we do. Perfect example: the trend in Asia where everyone and his dog was getting silicone injected into his head. We (Americans) think that is strange. For them it was probably just another trend.
One thing I wonder about people, though, is why we as a race tend to resist change.
Change is literally an element of nature. It exists in the very core of the universe.
Day becomes night, summer becomes fall which in turn becomes winter and so on.
Change happens. It just does.
People grow up.
Friends lose touch, people move on.
So why in the world do we refuse to let things happen the way they should?
We think that our current situation is so good before we even remotely experience something different.
Change is beautiful.
The wisest boy I've ever met once told me that the fact that people change is what makes them wonderful.
