Change

I have just been watching a pod cast ( I think) about gay marriage in the US. The arguments were all the same and nothing different really from either side but it made me think about why people may be against the change (and that is effectively what it is CHANGE).

Now I understand that there is also fear and mistrust of change and that no 1 wants things to change for the worse. But what slams me in he face the most is the hostility and the name calling that goes on behind the scenes even here in the UK with the same issue. It was in the news today that the ex- bishop of Canterbury has said that the government has alienated Christians and their faith, he attacked gay marriage in particular saying that it would be a step too far. Now beyond the fact that I think the gay marriage has become a scape goat, I also think people are afraid of what is happening in the world.

I'm friends with people from spiritual circles and have found that we seem to all be aware or embrace the element of change and the fact that nothing stays the same for ever. So much so in fact that the fact things change and are made new is celebrated and enjoyed. The idea that nothing stays the same and that everything is subject to change can be really exiting and within my faith it serves as a core belief.

I would even say that this ability to embrace change and adopt what you see to fit your spiritual needs is not subject to just someone who follows a purely spiritualist path. Recently I have been to a passover meal with my grandma and other members of the family. Now as I may have only done the evening purely to experience something different, I did understand and appreciate the meaning behind things. But my Family is Christian......not Jewish, so why did they do passover. Now I didn't really understand the reasons for doing it other than to enjoy a ritual meal to celebrate Easter. What I did understand is how lovely it was and how just sharing a ritual experience of another faith with people of your own faith that share core fundamentals can be a magical and wonderful thing

The economy all over the world is changing and there are talks of war in some places. There are rebellions and political unrest wherever you look governments are whining about money. In all this people are trying to have faith in whatever they believe and the ONE thing that stands out is that those who are able to adapt are the ones who seem to be struggling the least. Embrace change

My vote is to let it change, not because I am in favour (all tho I am) but because its about time people embraced change and tried to go with the flow instead of resisting because of fear or uncertainty.
