So it appears! Two sides of the same coin.


Consistent and 'same' aren't the same thing. Change can be consistent. Let's say a student is improving his marks by scoring exactly +10 in every exam. Let's say he scored 50 in the first exam, 60 in the second, 70 in the third, and so on. In that case, his improvement or change is consistent - as his scores aren't fluctuating, but is going up at a steady rate. So there could be consistent change and there could be inconsistent change. Consistent change would be predictable and 'steady' in some form. Inconsistent change would be unpredictable and random. Or maybe I did not get whatever you - Cloddy - was trying to imply? 😆

We were simply trying to point out how seemingly opposite end or polarities appear to be interdependent and influence each other to achieve an outcome. For eg for the passage of time you would need both day and night , and not just one of the two. To get electricity to flow you need both positive and negative terminals of a cell. One by itself wouldn't do! Similarly though "change" and "consistency" appear to be antonyms; to achieve any significant change one would have to work consistently to achieve that change. Hope I was able to clarify! 😆

^ Yes, that's what I said too. Change can be consistent ... if things change in a steady rate, not randomly and without any sequence or formula.

It is also important that the desire to change is from within and not imposed or else we could end up echoing these sentiments by Lobo-

Everything that we see with our eyes open is subject to change.

Yep. Lobo too never changed his sentimental style. " Love me for what I am. "

I wore the clothes you liked
You said they gave me that look
I even tried to like the food
I know you like to cook
I parted my hair on the left
I carried your arm on the right
I slept late in the morning
And I stayed out late at night.
I can't give any more of my soul away
And still look myself in the mirror everyday
I can't change any more
of what makes me be myself
And still have enough left
not to be somebody else
I'm not demanding as a man
Just asking you - love me for what I am.
I tried hard not to say
the things you don't like to hear
And when to you it was apropos
I nibbled on your ear
I opened the door up for you
I kept my big mouth shut
Well I've been going down
While you've been going up.
