No. Change is not hard and it is an inevitable part of life.

I disagree that change is inherently bad. It's not. I made that point.

It's not change that is difficult. It's also certainly not universally difficult or a psychological kick to people, especially in and of itself. Most people embrace change easily enough when there's a clear benefit to them. Indeed, they will even actively and, dare I say, joyously pursue it. Look at MAGA. They're looking to make change. It'll be great for them, they believe and others clearly disagree for rather obvious reasons.

So change has no value. It's neutral. It's neither good nor bad. It's not change in and of itself that people fear. As said, they openly embrace changes they perceive as being beneficial to them.

What they fear is an unrecoverable degrade of their conditions or unbearable hardship. That's based on history knowledge, experience, analysis, and beliefs (right or wrong). Not change.

What is scary, in other words is how people perceive change,, what it will mean or cost for them. Depending upon your perception and your character traits, you'll pull out whichever one or ones most suit your perception of the situation and go from there. It's got nothing to do with universal fear of change itself inability to cope or whatever.

For every person on one side of the equation in which change takes the place of the double arrow in chemistry equations are other people on the other side employing their character traits not out of fear but out of want or desire. Because they are competing for an idea, it's akin to a reversible reaction.

I made that clear too. But whatever.
