The question was: "Do you agree, is change a necessary part of life for there to be any progress of any kind?"
I do agree actually, that change is necessary for progression to be made. If everything stayed the same forever and ever, no one would ever go anywhere and we would all continue doing the same things. Change is not always the best thing at certain times but it can and does move things forward. Change doesn't even have to be big things like a new president; change can be trying a new type of food, or listening to a new type of music. These little changes progress your life in variety, which is a good thing, but again, it is still moving forward even though the changes are very little. People tend to be afraid of change because they generalize change as being something huge and new and unknown. But if it is taken at small steps, change doesn't have to be so bad and progression will eventually be made. Staying the same is not a bad thing either, if it makes people happy, but you never know if your life could be better until you try new things and make changes (big or small).
If someone were to never change their life at all, would you think there was something wrong with them?

Seeing is Believing?
This post is in response to the question from Cronin's Thought Maze: "Do you believe there is more to life than what we see? "
I think there are certainly things out there that we have not discovered yet. And I also think that there can be things on earth or in the spiritual realm that we cannot see but we must just believe or choose not to. A lot of people choose only to believe something once they have seen it for themselves with their own eyes. Seeing is Believing. But sometimes just having faith in something can make the belief stronger as was said in the blog. Believing is Seeing. Once you truly believe in something, it will open you up to so much more and faith can be guided by something strong. If we rely on only what we see, life would not be nearly as interesting as it is if we take risks and believe in things that we cannot neccessarily see for ourselves. Take the idea of ghosts and the spiritual world. There are people who believe in them, people who are skeptical, and people who don't believe in this at all. Either way, the possibility that something like a ghost from the past could haunt a place, object, or person makes for an interesting idea and brings up debates about beliefs and faith.
What do you think about the supernatural world?
Are we being tricked? Is there something else really out there?
