Do things really have to change through some force of nature or the pull of the universe, or is it only through the discontented nature of human beings that we will always long for diversity. Shying away from true stability in the interest of "growth" or "adventure." But how much can a plant grow if it keeps on being moved from one garden to another? Truly, it is only when the plant is given a stable home and a permanent place in the ground that it can really take root and thrive, bearing fruit year after year.
What will happen when stability is lost?
If you take out a column from the piazza(house), will the apse and lintel(roof) fall?
Or will the remaining columns be sufficient in holding it?
Surely, the building remains stable, as it has always been, but if you were to look closely you would find cracks and strains, permanent scars on the structure which could not be mended even if the missing column were to be returned to the place it once stood.
Do you get what I am saying here?
