Should "Change" be changed??

Sometimes, I really admire the enigma of human mind. No doubt we worship the creator. The fact that, when nothing is changing we want see some change so desperately, and then when things change we complain saying, WHY ME?!!
We start as an infant unaware about the intricacy of this world, unaware of the predicaments of life. During this phase our parents take decision for us. We join the kindergarten not even realizing we are at the starting line of a long race, a race whose finish line doesn't really exist. We learn the rhymes, we learn the alphabet. I bet no one ever forgets "A for Apple, B for..." or "Twinkle twinkle little star". Then we are "promoted" to higher grades, primary school, secondary school. In our teens, the mysteries of life start revealing. We are excited, "Come on baby, bring it on". All we crave for is CHANGE. We cant to go to college. We have all the possible ambitions in life and are so confident that we can achieve them. "I want to be an Engineer", "I want to be a Doctor", "Oh no, you people are stupid, I am gonna be a businessman and have all the money in the world". We want to go to college, start our career as soon as possible. We are so excited about the transition. Just cant wait for the change to happen.
We go to college, and when we face the competition and cannot make it to the college of our choice, we realize "This is not how it was suppose to be!" and come up with valid reasons to convince ourselves. We struggle our way through the college. First year gone, we look forward to second year. Second year gone, we look forward to the third...One day we realize, damn!! Soon the preset path is gonna end. The road we traveled so far was already there and now its the time we make our own way. And now you are perplexed. Worried about getting a job, or seeking admission for higher education. Eventually, you get a job and are amazed, this wasn't too hard! You laud yourself for doing it AGAIN!
Change after change, this is how it was suppose to be, right?? But you don't realize that all the way untill now, you never controlled the change. It was change controlling you. Now you question yourself, what next? What change you want to happen now?? You don't know! You start panicking. You wonder, did you wanted to be here. Life becomes a dilemma. But still, you try convincing yourself by making up reasons. Pretending to be satiated. Waiting for the next change to happen, but with every change you cant to change the change. You don't like the way change is changing. You realize how circuitous life is.
So, think about it - should the change be changed?? Or you think, even if the change is changed, you wont like the changed change and would again want it to change???
