Dichotomy 9: Permanence and Change
“Permanence and Change” describes the apparent conflict between the necessity for security and a state of acceleration. Basic to human nature is not only a need for a sense of well-being, but also a need for a sense of purpose. A state of permanence implies monotony, and technology causes such a rapid state of change that stability is compromised. Do we then cling to the familiar as a form of security, or do we celebrate advancement?
