"its never the changes we want that change everything."

Naturally, people fear change. change, demands that we get out of our comfort zone and push, thus risking our current happiness. However, sometimes change rips us out of our happy place mercilessly and unapologetically. It can alter the world for the rest of time. War is a prime example of this. Many times, most people wish not to go to war, though it is necessary. It is this necessary evil that vaporizes the status quo and leaves nature to take its course. A prime example of this, is world war two. The allies so desperately wanted to avoid war, remembering the not-so-distant horrors of the first world war. This left world leaders timid and scared. The prime minister of the United Kingdom, Neville Chaimberlin told the world that there will be “peace in our  time” only months before Hitlers ferocious Blitz Kreig decimated Poland. 

This war was largely inevidible. Yet, once it started, things would never be the same. It left Europe in ruins, leaving great colonial empires in shambles; Jews, Gypsies and other minorities massacred. However, at the end of this change that nobody wants, there a rebirth. Independence for so many countries in Africa and Asia, a homeland for the jews, and a destruction of totalitarian facism.  The horrible changed that changed everything had a great light at the end of the tunnel.
