Our world keeps constantly changing and there is nothing supernatural about it. We feel happy because of one type of change and nostalgic about the others. The main thing for us is to be able to derive experience and wisdom from the past and knowingly use it in the present.

Bright Side likes to outline life’s metamorphoses and today’s 11 comics are going to tell you more about them.

Today we are in a constant rush and we don’t have much time for waiting.

Children still go to school, but things have changed there too.

The ’carrot and stick’ method for raising kids still works, it’s just that the ’carrots and sticks’ have changed.

Technology keeps drastically changing too and we can only guess what is waiting for us in the future.

Fortunately, our pets are the same fluffies as before (and not robots). It’s just that different things that make them feel happy today.

The shoe secret has still not been revealed. Either the footwear used to be better before, or the roads have become softer.

You can share everything now — even intangible things...

Going into nature requires a little bit more time now than just a thermos with hot tea.

Maybe life hasn’t become easier but it has definitely become funnier!

What big changes have you noticed in our world? We would be glad to hear from you in the comments!
