"I would still like to know how change is apparently the only constant in the universe"



The concept of change and people's resistance to it is as old as human written history. Plato, Aristotle, and the entire

buddhist philosophies are built upon the idea of change. Many of our modern "constants" found in science are being

questioned daily, as there is new evidence showing that they are not always truly constant. While I still think that

change is the only certainty in life, a small change in the structure of the sentence will reduce the rigidity of the

statement while still retaining the concept as it relates to the review. I hope Deviant will approve of the CHANGES that

were made as to further prevent any more LOL's and LMAO's.

I ask a question and instead of a direct answer I get the history of. Sigh...

Actually I'm more of a rofl-er myself, plus now your intro is just awkward

At the reviewer, don't worry, more cliched and convoluted intros have been used in essay---staff review, no less.
I forgot which album (and it may have been a contrib), but one reviewer analyzed time in a manner infinitely more confusing (and irrelevant) than yours.

Death is just a part of change, remember "We are all tomorrow's food". Also, not everything in the universe is alive, so

the term death is not as all-inclusive as the term change can be when applied to the entirety of existence. Don't really

know how I can answer your question any more directly.

How is death a part of change when its a natural part of life?

Death is but one moment within a continuum of change. Before death, we go through the life cycle as a sentient being.

After death our bodies continue on in within the cycle of the universe, as they decompose and become energy, or "food"

for the earth. No one knows what happens to consciousness when we die, but we do know that the universe continues

ticking away. The constant here then is not death, rather it is change.



Life makes up only a small part of the what we call existence in our universe. Though highly unlikely, the only life that

we know of for sure is found on earth, which is just a speck of dust in the vast ocean of the universe. Like I said

before, the term change applies to more than just life, it can be applied to the entire universe.

Disagree with the review (I'm very disappointed by this album, and I wanted it to be different!), but it is well-written. Good job!

I remember that, the comments thread on that review were hysterical... which damn review WAS that? I
think I was one of the ones arguing come to think of it.

@Omnipanzer, It was an old one for sure. As usual, I was necro-browsing (did I just make that up?) on a rec. I want to say it was El Cielo but I'm not sure. We might not even be talking about the same one since I didn't read the comments so I didn't know of any arguments
Quick check shows it wasn't El Cielo. I kinda wanna know which review it was too lol

When you Change into a sound that's worse than the one that you started with, like what happened here, then it's fair to complain.

The idea of change you are referring is rather pointless. If as if you were trying to tell me that it just started raining because of a concept known as change, which is an arbitrary concept indeed, as is our perception of time and space.

So, no I'm sorry, but your annoyance is becoming a constant I cannot bare.
