Evolution or revolution

Revolution implies some sort of war on the rich or the ruling class but as funky English words go it also means something rotating. Evolution in my mind brings thoughts of Darwin, dinosaurs and Dr. Ben Carson.

To evolve is to adapt to the environment in a way that will allow you to have the tools needed to make the best of that environment. Revolution is just a cycle of the same order of things over and over and not necessarily adapting to new or even existing conditions. It’s like the idiom “spinning your wheels.” Your working hard but you are not moving forward.

To get out of the cycle(revolution) of destructive thoughts and behaviors some times requires a evolution to a different way of observing, processing and executing thoughts and actions. It may require physical relocation, a change in diet, a change in social circles, a change in your preferred entertainment,  etc.

In what way and how do we evolve. We can get inspiration from successful people’s biographies. I would stay away from entertainment based celebrities as their perceived greatness or success or happiness is at times fabricated for the purposes of their field of business. Politicians similarly are masters of flattery and at times deception. So I like the stories of corporate CEOs and financial types. Especially those who have come from humble beginnings. Unlike an entertainer or politician, you have to actually produce something, study, build relationships, be diligent and mean when you must, to become a Ursula Burns, Mark Cuban, Carl Icahn, Ross Perot, etc. To evolve from operating in an impoverished to thriving in the most opulent environment takes a lot of will. Although their business achievements may not relate to matters of the heart directly they teach that learning never stops and that is how you adapt.

Adaptation and evolution are synonyms. Currently regarding matters of the hart we are all attempting to live the Shakespearian experience of Romeo and Juliet – minus the suicide – in the digital age. This creates a lot of confusion, disappointment, and dysfunction as we have not fully adapted, adjusted and given Romeo and Juliet cell phones, social media, Netflix, cable, podcasts and dreaded dating apps. Like the CEOs they would adapt, using technology not just as consumers but as designers of their lives. Hopefully they would be older as I think they were in their early teens in the book. They would have equal contribution to a relationship and communicate to determine their compatibility and sustainability before things got too heavy.

So in conclusion we have to take stock of our dating philosophy, and love language to determine how it fits to the modern conditions. Not to loose ourselves or deviate from our ethos and morals but to observe the external environmental changes and determine how we can maintain those qualities while thriving in the present time.
