This is such an ingrained part of my understanding of the world that for a minute, I couldn't understand why you'd bothered to write the post out. The only reason I'd ever write something like this out is because it touches on other areas of life, such as assumptions about people (ref. theferrett's post about his stepfather) and such. That's usually when I find that someone (me or someone else, doesn't matter) has held more to a fixed image than a fluid one.
Past that, I don't think of "life is change" as a belief, so much as an observation. So it's infinitely peculiar to read this post, which carries (to me) the tone of choice of belief. The closest I can come to choosing not to "believe" this is choosing not to keep it in my head, choosing to cling to fixed things. That's when I despair.
