"If nothing changed there would be no butterflies."

If nothing changed from today we'd still have all the butterflies that tomorrow will be dead...

We all say we wish nothing would change, or that we could go back to yesterday. We ask for time to stand still, and our lives to stop moving, because we feel we have no control. I want to go back in time or stop a moment. Why? We are scared of the future, want to avoid it, we hate change and want to avoid the pain it brings. But do we real realize what were asking for.

If time were to stand still there would be no more birth, no more death, no more rehabilitation, no more disappointments, no more achievements. Someone would stay on a high, while another would never stop crying. There would be no more suprises, we would be stuck with what we have now. No more trees would be cut down, but no more would be panted. No one else would go bankrupt, but no one would recover from bankruptcy either.

If from today nothing would change there would be no more death, but no more birth. Life would stay the same, which itself would be the biggest change of all.
