Change

Every system has a life cycle.  Your system is intergrated at a certain level.  When change happens
it causes a disintegration in the system. It requires focus, attention, and revision to reintegrate the system
and it may well be at a higher level or it may well be at a lower level. We don't usually like change because
its a pest that must be eliminated or assimilated.  
 
You can apply the same system approach to your body, a life, any organization, to a company that blooms
and dies in 3 years or the Catholic Church that has a very long life cycle.  One can also apply it to a blog.
I think systems theory is the most exciting thing that happenned in the 20th century. We were able to begin
to look at families and interactions with a very fine discerning lense. It has helped us to see institutional abuse
of people. ....when organizations treat people like objects or numbers or classifications it is just as abusive as
beating someone up.  And , from a psychological perspective, its just as bad.
