Full Description

“The rigid cause themselves to be broken; the pliable cause themselves to be bound.” The words of Xun Zi 荀子 ring wise in the face of constant innovation and the rapid development of the 21st century. But where do you stand? Are you part of the cro1wd that looks upon change of any kind with suspicion? Or are you the type to jump on the band wagon, get involved, only to find yourself enslaved to the latest craze? There are some, who in the confusion and affray of life can find it a bit too over whelming. The bombardment of information, commercialization and pressures to be or look a certain way can become a bit too much, and they break down in such a sorrowful fashion that it hurts your heart to witness such a thing. Then there are those who walk around in a daze as if woken from some dream, pondering the point of it all. Whichever crowd you fall into, just remember given the eons before us and the millennia to come, as stars are born and die all around us, instead of wasting time in going for extremities, why not just sit back and enjoy the ride?
