Pandora's Cube

The world needs change.

What kind of change, exactly? Well, every individual has his or her own answer. However, the majority of human beings can agree that the world needs change.

Some people tend to believe there is no right or wrong; there are only different points of view. Others believe society is destined to follow certain laws of morale and ethics imposed by... those before us. Hence, good is defined as following the law, while evil is circumventing it. Whichever our view is, we can all agree that the world needs change.

But what exactly is change?

Let's start with a phrase familiar to many of us: "People don't like change; they fear it." So, if people don't like change, why seek it? If it were only easy to answer all questions in life. Life is a paradox; in fact, agreeing that life is a paradox is a paradox itself. In dealing with subjects such as "change" and "good and evil", one must take a very observant point of view. Even the smallest drop of bias can contaminate a beautiful lake.

The question has been set. The answers are eager to come out of their cage. But do we, as a human race, need to free these answers? Do we want to? Or do we fear them as we fear a caged lion?

Only change can tell.
