The Commendable Vicissitude


As defined in the Farlex dictionary, ‘Vicissitude’ is the term for regular change or succession from one thing to another.

Each one of us is born on this planet with an intended purpose. This purpose may be obscure but each one of us, from all the small insects to the mighty blue whales, all of us are important! But when we look at our indispensable past, we all would realize that our evolution was from single celled species. Yes that's the frantic fact of our life. This process is slow but continuous. There's no proof required for the plausible nature. So why did we evolved into complex and most dominant species on this planet? Well this change is by default and we can't stop it. Imagine ourselves as some sticky layer with just cells! Yes we were the same millions and millions of years ago.
This vicissitudes can be classified as two, first being the mutation one and the second one is what we called transformation.

Well even a change from one generation to other can also be considered as a vicissitude move of humans. But these changes are sometimes not accepted. We have moved from black and white television sets to curved LEDs, from bits to pita-bytes, from meeting in person to poking etc. etc. These technologies are supposed to curate but instead they act as vicars. This is a different topic altogether, what I want to highlight here is that sometimes changes are good and sometimes they are bad. An example of this can be WWI and WWII, I mean the devastation caused in the second one was but obvious greater than the first one. But at the same time the advancement in the medical field have led to miracles. Well there are numerous such examples. 

There's no single person involved in any of these but we all contribute to this change in one way or the other. So we don't invent anything bad, our intention may be good, but it’s our next generation, our mystified future responsible for its use. Even the fiction series of X-Men depicted the same.

Our choice defines us and not our fate.

So we cannot stop ourselves from being evolved but we can choose our future. May our choices don't be indignation to anyone. Just larking in the present is diabolically harming the future. Try to be pragmatist and stay away from being fiend.
