Have We Really Changed?

We watch as the decades unfold and marvel at the change of society.

What we equate as baseline now would’ve been the luxury of our youth and yet, we can’t help but look on and wonder if anything has really changed. Love stories still tell the same tale and our ‘progressive’ attitudes towards relationships are nothing more than a stigma removed from what occurred frequently in the past.

We still fight over trivial issues, seek to conquer the world (with ideas or economics) and bemoan the politicians who jump from one scandal to another. Which, as we know, is all of them.

The human stories of yesterday still resonate with us today, still teaching us in ways that are useful.

People ponder at how the world has changed in the past few years and how different it’s going to look tomorrow.

To that, I say it will look different, but deep down, it’s still the same.
