Fear of Changes.

One of the stories that Faulkner wrote  was "A rose for Emily". In this story we can see a lot of the classic south, with slaves and aristocratics, but  we can also realize that Industrialism arrived  with all its power. The world was changing, and it  will continiu to do so. However, as human as we are, we avoid changes, we like the present to be as the past was, "Todo tiempo pasado fue mejor", we like the way things were; things were easier, simpler, everyone was happier. 

This story is a truthful reflexion of who we are in real life, we are so afraid of how life can be if it changes that we refuses to go with the flow as some say. And in the end those how did not embraced the new world, died with their old one. Nevertheless the past has different ways to be present in our lives, an example of these are the museums, or in this case, Emily´s house. The town worship her and what she represented, all the glory of old times, we appreciate the past onces it has already past, not before.

Maybe someday humans will learn how to appreciate things while they still have the opportunity and not after when the time has pass.
