“Everything changes, nothing remains without change.”
Hindu Prince Gautama Siddharta, or the Buddha made this quote. I might add he said it a long time ago, a really long time ago.
It is still true for today. Sitting here in Kenya accessing the internet, I am again reminded that everything changes.
Not long ago the internet was unheard of in Kenya. Then it arrived for the rich. Right now it is still expensive, but the cost keeps going down and down. Eventually everyone will be able to access the internet. Everything changes.
Information can change a people. Exposure to other cultures, ideas, and systems can change a people. Kenyans are changing.
Change is vital. I just hope and pray that in adopting Western ways of life, Africans do not lose their unique African ways. Ways that are well worth preserving.
