Random Musings of a Caffeinated Insomniac

Human Nature

I've been wondering lately, whether it's human nature to not want to move on with our lives. I think so. Most people would agree that when something changes for the worse, we want to change it back, whether it's a bad decision, someone dying, whatever. But what about when it's something good? When something changes for the better, is it human nature to still not want to move on? And how do we know when we really have? For example, when you're in a happy relationship with someone, but another person still haunts your thoughts from time to time. Are those just random memories, or are they our nature trying to keep us from moving too far forward, as though saying "watch out, don't go too far down this one path" Or is it just our subconscious reminding us that things are always changing- it's the only true constant. (Hell, even the due date for my city taxes changes.) And whether the change is for better or worse, it will be there, both better and worse.
