It is generally believed that there are two types of people in the world, those that devote their life to excelling at whatever they do, and those that are always content with what they have. In the former case, it is always a matter of evolution; always one foot after the other; always expansion; always moving towards something better, quicker, faster, more efficient. In the latter case, it is simply -- death. But I believe an important postscript needs to be added to this maxim: that life must be a dynamic ebb and flow between both states of being. That one must continually assess his/her surrounding to dialectically choose which elements to keep, and which to evolve. I believe that while consistent radical change leads to anarchy, consistent complacency leads to decay.
