How Acceptable is Normal

Change is in the air. Candidates are talking about it. Pastors seem to talk about it lot as well.
Perhaps is sounds simplistic, but a person's desire for change is born from their personal view on how acceptable normal is.

Normal is status quo. It is the supremely sustainable way things are.
Your need or desire for change is directly correlated to how you feel about how well things are now. Complacent is the name given to individuals who guard normal by people who don't like it.
Complacent people don't generally fear change, they fear loss.

Of course, normal is relative and thus so is change.
So if you perceive a need for change and normal is no longer acceptable to you.
A desire for change may be born from a pure sense of how things should be, or a kind of divine vision from God. It may be born by a sense of idealism, or if may be from a tumultuous inner life in which creating change is a way of veiling the voices in your head. that is to say, that you have a need to make everything crazy around you so that it feels like home.. or normal. Chances are your need for change comes from all of these. Chances are you can't tell the difference.
