Resistance to change. It is everywhere. A resistance to change unregulated banking. A resistance to change outlook towards terrorism and rogue nations. A resistance towards changing perceptions about a team, after a string of test match losses (Warne saying the Aussie loss to India and SA is not something to feel disgraced about). Resistance to change the 'I won't spend' ways in the wake of a financial crisis, on account of the fear of the unknown - which, will certainly not help the economic revival!
But the one change no one is resistant to, is the change from last year to this year. People gather in hordes at Times Square or Nathan Philips Square, at -20 degrees Celsius, to ring in the new year. A foursome was on stage dressed in just a suit while the rest of the population could not stand in one place on account of the bone-chilling cold. Why? To change the old, and bring in the new. To bring in 2009, which, it is hoped will be a panacea for the millions of souls.
I love this change, as do the millions, and keeping the happy spirit going - wish you all a very very happy new year indeed.....
