It is alright, this is an intense debate-style program, if you need a break, go ahead and get one.
In general, I wonder whether there are always truly virtues to change. While change can help progress an otherwise drab and annoying feature, to a better aspiration, it can also have the reverse affect. Instead of helping, a visionary idea could end up being only a detriment to its one creator. Instead of providing a better, more effective process, it instead spawns new and unruly problems to work around. Yet still, the great majority of advances have been a two-edged sword. While they do provide a progressive outlook, progress does have, and always will have its own special disadvantages. Often, by being progressive we only make things harder on ourselves in the end- or, in trying to pave a path forward, we forget to maintain the road behind us. One cannot progress if they give no credence to tradition and age old wisdom, and such is the downfall of modernism.
