Ephram:
The more things change, the more they stay the same. I'm not sure who the first person was who said that. Probably Shakespeare. Or maybe Sting. But at the moment, it's the sentence that best explains my tragic flaw, my inability to change. I don't think I'm alone in this. The more I get to know other people, The more I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw. Staying exactly the same for as long as possible, standing perfectly still... It feels safer somehow. And if you are suffering, at least the pain is familiar. Because if you took that leap of faith, went outside the box, did something unexpected... Who knows what other pain might be out there, waiting for you. Chances are it could be even worse. So you maintain the status quo. Choose the road already traveled and it doesn't seem that bad. Not as far as flaws go. You're not a drug addict. You're not killing anyone... Except maybe yourself a little. When we finally do change, I don't think it happens like an earthquake or an explosion, where all of a sudden we're like this different person. I think it's smaller than that. The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice unless they looked at us really close. Which, thank God, they never do. But you notice it. Inside you that change feels like a world of difference. And you hope this is it. This is the person you get to be forever... that you'll never have to change again

00:00:06.548 --> 00:00:09.133
I'm not sure who the first person was who said that
00:00:09.217 --> 00:00:11.097
Probably Shakespeare or maybe Sting
00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:13.471
But at the moment it's the sentence
00:00:13.555 --> 00:00:15.765
that best explains my tragic flaw
00:00:16.766 --> 00:00:18.852
My inability to change
00:00:20.228 --> 00:00:21.855
I don't think I'm alone in this
00:00:21.938 --> 00:00:23.523
The more I get to know other people the more
00:00:23.606 --> 00:00:26.317
I realize it's kind of everyone's flaw
00:00:31.447 --> 00:00:33.867
Staying exactly the same for as long as possible
00:00:33.095 --> 00:00:36.578
Standing perfectly still It feels better somehow
00:00:36.661 --> 00:00:39.664
And if you are suffering at least the pain is familiar
00:00:43.668 --> 00:00:46.421
Because if you took that leap of faith went outside the box
00:00:46.504 --> 00:00:49.002
did something unexpected
00:00:49.132 --> 00:00:51.926
who knows what other pain might be waiting out there
00:00:52.998 --> 00:00:55.346
Chances are it could be even worse
00:00:55.043 --> 00:00:57.265
So you maintain the status quo
00:00:57.348 --> 00:00:58.683
Choose the road already traveled
00:00:58.766 --> 00:01:00.685
and it doesn't seem that bad
00:01:00.768 --> 00:01:03.271
Not as far as flaws go You're not a drug addict
00:01:03.354 --> 00:01:05.999
You're not killing anyone
00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:08.999
Except maybe yourself a little
00:01:16.999 --> 00:01:19.003
When we finally do change I don't think
00:01:19.001 --> 00:01:21.539
it happens like an earthquake or an explosion
00:01:21.623 --> 00:01:23.917
where all of a sudden we're like this different person
00:01:26.544 --> 00:01:28.254
I think it's smaller than that
00:01:28.999 --> 00:01:30.999
The kind of thing most people wouldn't even notice
00:01:30.173 --> 00:01:31.999
unless they looked really really close
00:01:32.997 --> 00:01:34.999
which thank God they never do
00:01:42.001 --> 00:01:44.996
But you notice it
00:01:44.999 --> 00:01:45.605
Inside you that change feels like a world
00:01:45.688 --> 00:01:47.565
of difference and you hope that it is
00:01:47.649 --> 00:01:50.485
That this is the person you get to be forever
00:01:50.568 --> 00:01:53.529
That you'll never have to change again
