Some people fear changes, others don't. Some people don't bother about changes. How about us?

We should not fear change because it is a fact of life. At all times we should be ready to face changes.

When any change takes place we should react with care- whether it affects us directly or not. e.g. If a neighbour loses a relative, it is a change to which you should react by showing sympathy.

We should react by evaluating change. When a change that we don't understand takes place, we should react by asking for advice.

We should accept changes. If we resist changes they will sweep us away.  Never resist a change you can't reverse.

We should study the changes to make proper reactions.

We should adjust our plans or ways in face of sudden changes, e.g. If you lose a job in town, you can think about going to the village or building a smaller house than the originally planned.

We should avoid reacting with nostalgia i.e. the feeling that the past was better and that we should go back to the past. We should know that the old is gone, gone never to return.

We should react with courage and hope that things will improve .

We should react by praying to God to enable us cope with changes.

We should prepare for future changes like prepare for old age by working hard while still energetic.

Evaluating Changes.

When a change occurs, we shouldn't rush to accept it or to reject it, We should instead first evaluate it by asking the following questions:

Is it a good change? Does it have benefits. for society and me?

It is a bad change? What makes it bad?

We evaluate change by,asking and answering questions and by making judgments, decisions and choices.

Accordingly, if a change is good, accept it and if it bad leaves it.

If it is good to you but negative (bad) to the majority, better evaluate yourself again and reject it. You may be wrong.

If a change is bad to you but the majorities see it as good, then you may be wrong! Evaluate it again. If it is good for the majority, it may be good for you as well.

Support the good changes. Oppose the bad changes

If you are rejected you should reform. Don't be frustrated.

Changes- in -the past were slow and gradual unlike today where changes are very fast and rapid.

In the past money was not required in order to bring about good changes in society or to remove bad changes from society. But today, money is required for both.

Most changes in the African past were predictable e.g. the possibility of a future war could be predicted, a rainy season could be predicted and the birth of a child. Unfortunately, today girls get pregnant unpredictably!

Most changes in the past were for the good of society unlike today where for instance dangerous weapons have been invented for the destruction of the human race!

Most changes were natural in the past unlike today where -most changes-are artificial.

In the past changes were easier to cope up with than today.

Changes in the past were well prepared for. The older members of society prepared their young ones for future changes.
