How is a call to change named shame, / named penance, named chastisement? / How does one say / what if / without reproach?
- Claudia Rankine, “what if”
There is no progress without change. Without change, we get mired in the same downward spiral, and isn't it the definition of insanity to keep doing things the same way and expect a different result.
Change gets a bad rap because change is rarely perfect. Perfection isn't the goal. Improvement is!
Standing in the door to block progress because it's not perfect is an excuse to do nothing. Those who would block change are invested in and profit from the status quo. Making life better for all is not in their self interest.
