The response by other persons to the attempt of one person to to take control is a change on their part, which will further change the environment of the person who seeks to take control. It is thus impossible to respond to change in a way which prevents further change. If we seek security in permanence, in the prevention of change, we will fail. If we have been growing up, and then decide to seek security in permanence, inhibiting our process of growing up is a change. If we have been participating in a growing relationship an decide that the relationships have become exactly what we want it to be eternally, inhibiting further growth of the relationship will forever change the relationship in ways beyond our control.
