Are We Evolving or Just Fickle?

Just about all children tell their parents “But you said…” My grandfather told my father who told me under such attack, “I have evolved.”

It is a wonderful thing to truly evolve. But it is not a wonderful thing to be inconsistent for convenience or to compromise for personal gain. To evolve is to be open. It is good. To be fickle is to be unprincipled. It is bad.

If we pause, think and look within, we will know the difference as it pertains to ourselves. As for others, we have to guess as best we can. But others don’t matter as much as we do. We matter most to those nearest and dearest to us, but even more to ourselves.
