TTT (title translation time)

"Rejection is Change, but change reject no one." I use to think it made sense. It does, depending on how its read. True that rejection is change in the sense that when someone rejects something they are creating change. Diverging from or rejecting the norm creates change. Also I realize it could be taken as by rejecting, from the norms point a view, we create change. This is a contradiction because if by rejecting people and ideas we create change, there is no way to not reject. It also seems to imply that by rejecting we are forcing things to change. In order to not be rejected, one much change, conformity. That would basically mean conformity is unavoidable, not true, not what I am trying to say. Change rejecting no one is a completely true phrase however, anyone can change. It is true that many people resist change, but this is a decision they make they were not born lacking the ability to change. What I was trying to say by saying rejection is change, is saying when we reject the common belief we create change. I am not saying any belief held as common needs to be rejected, however, because that would become a circle. If the change created by rejecting the norm truly rejects none and becomes the norm, then if we were rejecting all norms, this change we made would be lost. The assumption I am making is that what we are rejecting is bad and we are rejecting it in favor of a change for that is arguably better, at least for the specific person. The title was only suppose to imply that if no one takes a stand, makes a rejection, then nothing will change, but if people begin to reject ideas, beliefs held common that are obviously flawed othe may follow and it would snowball into change.
