Things do not change, we do.

As Henry David Thoreau once said, ‘Things do no change, we do’. But what does it mean?

It means that things around us remains the same, for example; the sun rises from the same direction, but we find every morning different… just because we perceive things differently at different times doesn’t mean that they necessarily ‘change’. There’s a quote to back it up:
"life is ten percent what happens to me and ninety percent how I react to it."

There has always been prejudice in this world and there will continue to be but we change because our opinions change and look at things from a different perspective.

Change is the only constant in life. This constant is the cause rather than the effect that sets things in motion. The ‘things’ do not change because they shape the basic structure from which a society may grow. However their forms or features may change just as human faces may look different depending on an individual’s ethnicity. These days, under the skilled hands of a plastic surgeon, the features of a human face can also change. This confirms the ‘saying’. The fact that we are now scientifically capable of altering the forms of our faces to match our outfits, indicates that we effect changes on things because our attitudes, needs, mindsets and expectations have and will continually undergo ‘extreme makeovers’.
