Its bad when a group of people made the English and French look brave in the American Revolution by letting them do all the fighting in a war for independence from European control. Its not called Dutch courage for nothing.
French guy-Your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Well, there was blood everywhere and I was too high to fight.
French guy-Like I said your courage is such Dutch courage.
Dutch guy-Im gonna pretend you didn't say that, I'm a lovable guy.
French guy-You have too much Dutch courage to be a lovable guy. You're a fucking coward, not a pet.
Dutch guy-You made a good point just now.
Damn a French guy told you that you're a fucking coward, that's bad.

A lot of people are quick to try and change something once they get bored or frustrated with it, but they're not as quick to try and preserve something that's already there. That's like throwing out decent food because it's a day old for a quick fix of instant gratification at a fast food restaurant because it was cooked that day and not reheated. Not everything that is preserved needs to be donated to a bunch of people you never met before either, that's not being a humanitarian, really it's a bunch of people you never met before trying to take advantage of somebody they see as being too nice.
Things not changing fast enough for some people isn't frustrating, people that need everything to change to keep from getting bored or frustrated are frustrating people to know.

If someone has reached the age of 35, or 50, or 90, and hasn't changed, they don't have to change. It's never too late to remain yourself without changing anything.
If someone has reached an age of 35, or 50, or 90, and they like who they are, they don't have to listen when somebody says they need to change, or that it's never too late to change, especially when it's coming from somebody who has no answers they don't.

There's a lot of people who are quick to try and change something that's been there for decades or longer, but don't want to preserve anything that's been around a while, they only seem to want to preserve something new and fresh, something that just got done.
The guy/girl wanted everything he/she wasn't a part of or didnt do with his/her group eliminated, but wanted everything he/she/they did do preserved forever. They thought everyone had to welcome and agree with their thoughts about change, and that anybody who disagreed should die.

The people who talk about wanting change often dont usually talk about a stock market crash, they make it sound like all change is a good thing, even if the country was in good shape without change, and didn't need it. Usually they really want everyone else to put up with what they want done differently.
