to change or not to change

You are a weird person when in the middle of reading a book about Globalization and Global climate change, you put the book down to write a blog post about a completely unrelated topic. Unrelated is an understatement, a topic on the other end of the rainbow than Globalization and Global climate change. Yes, I just admitted I'm really weird and that I have to take such a class in college. 
But, on a separate note, I just realized I absolutely hate change. Like abhor it, dislike it to infinity. If I it was up to me, I would do everything in my power to not let things around me change. It isn't always in my hands, but when it is, I make sure that is what I do. I don't know and don't care what the rest of the world thinks about change. I care about what I think about change. And I do not take kindly to it. 
Letting things change is plain foolish, involves implicit and blind trust in people, which again is just plain foolish. Why would you willingly go out of your way to make your life more difficult. Yes of course I've heard change is the only thing that is constant and all that, and I'm not convinced. And I don't intend to, till of course I am forced to, and then, we shall see. We, shall definitely see who changes who. 
You're just rationalizing if you have to keep telling yourself over and over again that change is good. Definitely rationalizing. Just FYI, rationalizing when you have to keep stating something over and over again to convince yourself that that particular thing is true/right. Sound familiar? Of course it does. Because everyone does it on such a regular basis without even realizing that they're doing it. No use denying it. Because you do it too. Popped your bubble now did I?
A penny for a spool of thread,
A penny for a needle—
That's the way the money goes,
Pop! goes the weasel.
Which randomly brings me to Flora Rheta Schreiber's book,Sybil, on Multiple Personality Disorder (MPD). She uses   the rhyme in such a disturbing way, I've never been able to read the rhyme the same way ever since then. MPD is interesting, if you can digest it. If you can't, you'd probably just be way too horrified about the shit that happens in the rest of the world outside your tiny little bubble.  
I'd like to be more sarcastic and pop more bubbles but there's a time and place for everything. For now, I should be getting back to Globalization and Global climate change, which is Environmental Education in 11th and 12th Grade, taken to a whole new annoying level.
