Dinosaur Gupta
I don’t think dinosaurs sensed that they were about to vanish as a race. If the thought had crossed their mind, they would have done something about it. I think they kept thinking it’s becoming more and more uncomfortable and something doesn’t seem right, never to guess that the doomsday was coming. A rare one here and there might have felt it deep in his gut that something was definitely not right but then the others who were overconfident of their size, their power, their dominance might have shrugged him off. The weather kept changing and before they knew it crossed the limit which was their death knell. And they fried inside out. The same is true for us humans as well. We get used to our successes. Our ego. Our momentum from the past. We ignore the warning signs. We ignore the nagging feeling that it’s not going the way it should. Because we don’t “want” it to change. And before we know, we’re history.
PS - so is there a way to avoid it? Yes! Don’t be afraid of changing. Period.
