How would you respond to these ‘true or false’ questions?
People have a natural resistance to change. True or false?
People get bored with routine and seek out new experiences. True or false?
Older people are more resistant to change. True or false?

Did you answer ‘true’ to all three statements? These positive responses are inconsistent with each other, and contradict the evidence. For example, many people when they retire from work take up radically new activities and hobbies: painting, acting, community involvement, learning a musical instrument. We cannot have natural resistance to change and seek new experiences at the same time.
