My little brother, in his six years, confirmed something for me today. I can't remember the situation in detail...why we came to a place of disagreement, and were fighting like a 19 year old and 6 year old shouldn't. All I remember is telling him that change was good...he threw his hands shaped as fists down toward the ground, making his arms stand rigidly straight at his sides, and his eyes watered a little as he told me something. He said, "Change is NOT good. It makes people hurt, and sad, and do things they don't want to do.", after this he breathed hard through his nose and tried not to cry.I felt bad for smiling, I just thought it was interesting...given that I had just come to pretty much the same conclusion in my last post. He is so much smarter than me.

the intellectual will self destruct... for fear of living with the responsiblity to change.
