  • When people [[talk]] about [[change]], some things said point toward change, while other things said point against change. collapsed:: true
    • When changing, people [[talk]] about the following things: collapsed:: true

    • When pushing back [[against]] [[change]], people [[talk]] about the following things: collapsed:: true

      • How things wouldn't work if they changed.
      • Talking about wanting things to stay the same.

  • Something that fits with a [[goal]] is often much harder to [[see]] than when it really doesn't [[fit]]. What's right is more [[invisible]], what's wrong is relatively easy to spot. In light of this, it makes sense that [[teaching]] at [[scale]] will focus on avoiding what's [[wrong]] instead of learning how to look for what's right.

Why do I want more?

I only like two of my shirts. Three or four on a good day. The rest feel uncomfortable. Why did I buy this one?

It's beautiful - but unnecessarily. I don't want to stand out, to balloon or showboat or stunt or whatever you'd like to call it. I don't want to baby my clothing, spending too much money on a garment then having to carefully treat it. I don't want to be flashy. I just want comfort and consistency. This elaborate shirt is giving me a headache.
