Some people prefer to spend their lives doing the same things and avoiding change. Others, however, think that change is always a good thing. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.

As humans, we have the choice to continue with our usual chores or try new adventures. I think that

this

choice should be left to the individual,

, let us examine the view that change is vital. Lord Buddha had said that change is the only permanent thing in the universe. Indeed, all the progress which we have witnessed is because of adventurers desiring change.

For example

, because of navigators like Captain Cook, Magellan and Columbus, newer worlds were discovered. Other examples are the political revolutions, like the French revolution, which replaced

with democracy. Indeed, the world is a better place due to these changes.

Although

trying out new

is important, it is

also

important to remain grounded and contended. We all know the story of the grasshopper and the ant. Trying out fancy, new

things

at the cost of our responsibilities is erroneous.

For example

, we know of many businesses which failed because they avoided tried-and-tested approaches for success.

Also

, if one tries to learn and do many

the knowledge gained is superficial.

then

seek the unknown.

This

means that we should listen to the wisdom of elders before seeking new adventures.
