50 Reasons Why Change is Actually Just a Prank Played on Our Sanity
They say that change is the only constant in life, which is a poetic way of saying that life is constantly trying to mess with our routines. Whether it is the grocery store moving the cereal aisle to the back of the building or our own bodies deciding that a new knee ache is the latest fashion, we spend a staggering amount of energy just trying to keep things exactly the same. We love a good comfort zone, yet we find ourselves laughing at the absurdity of our own resistance. Embracing change humor is essentially our collective therapy for dealing with the chaotic, unscripted updates life forces upon us. From digital software updates that promise the moon but deliver headaches to personal evolution that feels more like a mid-life identity crisis, here is a collection of funny change quotes that prove we are all just making it up as we go.
