Adapt or Die

In a constantly changing environment an organism has to adapt in order to survive this Charles Darwin theories. Life being what it is; it is constantly changing: we grow up; we move; we meet new people; we lose people; we start and finish ventures. Life is ever changing and compels us to do the same. ‘What changes are you making in your life?’ it is a question someone could have asked since it is a new year. This brings me to think about what changes I am making. Furthermore are those changes to my advancement or determent?

Sometimes changes hurts.
I take that back. Most times change hurts.

Often broken bones don’t heal properly or completely, it could be because the bone was shattered, infected, you could have a medical condition that inhibits proper healing or be a smoker which too inhibits healing. This may result in pain or a disability; of which would alter the function of the body.

Many of us have adapted, we are clearly not dead but, we walking around in pain; some have been doing it for so long we have become good at keeping the pain hidden. So we will say:
 ‘I’m fine’,
‘It’s okay’,
‘don’t worry about it’,
‘it’s cool’.  

How many variations of ‘I’m fine’ have you uttered in your life?

People call you strong, brave for what you did and what you went through… and yes you are, the fact that you are still standing is a testimony to that.


Yet my friend tell me this, if you were a strong horse having endured many winters but, came to your coldest winter, and doing what you do grew longer fur, if an opportunity were to come to allow you to go to warmer shelter, would you go or just adapt?
