It is what it is, or is it? Change is evitable, Man has flown across oceans on metal wings and recently ceased burning witches. Some changes bode for the better and yet, some bring out the worst; but there is always change. China's elite society no longer binds a young girl's feet to make her look dainty, and wars once fought on battlefields, now devastate civilians in towns and cities. It is what it is, recognizes a fleeting moment in time before reality morphs into something else; something new. Change, progress, and adaptability form the foundational pillars of life. Baby steps lead the way to giant leaps, and given sufficient time, people will climatize to any change. Despair and manipulation fuel feelings of helplessness that often delays but cannot stop change. Hope, blood, sweat, tears, and time, are all essential components that comprise the social papier-mache, from which change derives its shape.
