Man is accustomed to change. The severity of his aberration is normally due to a feeling that he must protest against change. For his environment, all down through his evolutionary line, through any lifetime, has changed almost day by day.
Man is successful. That is evident because he is here today after eons of trial and error, good and bad planning. And he is successful because he can change.
The conquest of his environment has been his own engrossing purpose. Each time he has failed to conquer and control his environs, he has made wide change in form and methods and has again returned into his kingship.
Man does not adapt to an environment. He adapts the environment to himself. And in that lies his success. When he fails to adapt the environment, when he lags in his complete control of that environment, he has altered himself or his ideas until he could again change the environment.
