Change

Humans require change to feel complete. Without changes, we wouldn't have much of a mind or personality considering that the depths of whatever you know are determined by how well you know it's counterforce. There can be no good without evil. Everything only works and is understandable because we see it's contrast. Many people get it mixed up though. Like trying to end evil, that would just end good as well. People are constantly seeking this state of "content ness" which can never exist, true content ness is from being in the absolute center. Many people let these views of change control them. Hiding away from change for years before letting it happen, or they take it the other route and decide they are wholly or mostly and entirely different person. But that is nonsense. Life doesn't happen on a timeline, but rather like a root growing outward. We're always us. All of our past experiences produce a conditioning on our minds. Our mind will start as one thing, then as time progresses it picks up debris along the way, like a snowball rolling down a hill. Like this dude G. I> Gordjieff says a human being is made up of essence and personality. What he means by essence is going to be what you are and own like hereditary traits, and personality are the things you acquired through social conditioning.
The clearest perspective is always the one that you don't hold yourself in, thinking outside of the box, so to speak. Everything makes perfect, clear sense if you remove your attachments to the situation.
