Chapter 24. Changes in life.
Hello there.
Today is the 1st of December. The beginning of the new month and the new season. The life is being changed.
The weather is changing. Instead of rain and mud we had month ago when I started my blogging, at the moment we have snow and ice (though sleet has remained :) ) We have to change our wardrobe. From today we have bus tickets price increased. A sad change. Not the only one. The trade center I wrote about three weeks ago is about to be closed.
The surrounding world inevitably varies. How do you mostly treat it, positively or negatively? How do you cope with it? Try to adapt yourself or not? Of course, life without changes is boring. When my life remains still for a significant period I provoke some disturbance of space around me. Instant change of an environment forces organisms to improve itselves. (If you believe the Darvin theory :) ) On the other hand expecting negative changes causes stress and other psychological diseases. Do you suffer this? Sometimes I do. And it's the hardest thing to resist to. I wonder if there is some technics to neutralize negative thoughts.
It seems that common vector of changes throughout the whole human history is positive. A standard of living has improved dramatically since the time when our ancestors depicted mammothes on the walls of their caves. Practically, we now have not to fight for food and for safe life. Most of our time we spend for communication and what is especially wonderfull we can communicate with all over the world. On the other hand science fiction writers predict the technological disaster as a result of the progress. Do you agree with them? I don't. But there is a nuance. For instance, the situation like those described in 'The Matrix' movie, when the vast majority of humans lives in the Matrix, I tend to consider as a positive result of the evolution. If there would be the choice for me I would choose the blue pill. :) What do you think about all this?
And there one more change we are all expecting now. Tomorrow I'm going to write my last blog and the next week we'll see the new portrait at the blog header. I hope this change won't be sad.:)
Alex.

Thank You, Alex, for Your interesting blogs. I'm really inspired reading about Your life and Your thoughts about life. I believe, the only technics to neutralize all negative - it's to remember all that is positive. I wish good luck to You!
Hi Alex! I really fell sad as you are leaving the blog. You are the most diligent and intelligent blogger as i have ever seen. you never missed one blog to readers from all over the world. The contents of your posts are so interesting and colourful. You are really a witty writer.I hope BBC World Service would find all the coming bloggers as you. All the best wish to you and your family.
I read your blog.I am sorry that I only understood a little. but I hope to learn English well. One day I can read it freely.
Hello Alex! Firstly, sorry for my English. When you say "...science fiction writers predict the technological disaster as a result of the progress...", I'm agree with that. I live in Barcelona (Spain), and the weather is changing, it is hot and christmas is coming. Five years ago, I went to ski this week near Barcelona (200 km), now it's impossible, there isn't any snow. I'm very worried about that, people (and governments)don't think about the disadvantages of the progress: ecological disasters, animals in extinction...

It was very dark.I was sitting on windown-sill,beacuse I was thinking my marriage was over.As confusing was my future.My two lovely daughters did not accept their father divoce to me.Our marriage was complicated.My husband had affair with young lady.When I caught his affair out,at firstly,he denied.He made up many excuses,she was hissecretary.Then he was admitted that he wont hang up relationship with her.At that time,I was naive because I though he was still love me If we would separate,our daughts could were sad. As in heir an eyes,we were perfect parents,I could not endure my husband lying on me a lot time.I hope my kids understand our problem.Another problem,Idid not have a working experience.Since I have graduated from univerity.I got married with my husband.I have been married for fifty years as I staied at home to take care of them.Suddenly, I have to look for a job and change my live.I felt scared and lonely but I told myself to overcome.
