“The more things change, the more they remain the same” (Owczarek). Perhaps this is the truest statement ever made. The essence of life is forever changing, but as it changes it somehow goes in an infinite circular motion. Thus, life is forevermore remaining the same. Human nature: the one thing that through thousands of years of new technology, societal trends, political issues, and every other thing that is constantly changing, that could allow our world and human civilization remain the same through the entire history of time.
