It's the most unhappy people who most fear change.

Summary

This quote suggests that individuals who are truly unhappy or dissatisfied in their lives are often the ones who are most resistant to change. Change represents a disruption of their comfort zone, and fear of the unknown leads them to cling to what is familiar, even if it is causing them unhappiness. By avoiding change, they hope to avoid potential further unhappiness or uncertainty, perpetuating a cycle of discontentment. However, embracing change and stepping outside of their comfort zone could offer them the opportunity for growth, happiness, and a more fulfilling life.

When we least expect it, life sets us a challenge to test our courage and willingness to change; at such a moment, there is no point in pretending that nothing has happened or in saying that we are not yet ready. The challenge will not wait. Life does not look back. A week is more than enough time for us to decide whether or not to accept our destiny.

Its idea of production value is spending a million dollars dressing up a story that any good writer would throw away. Its vision of the rewarding movie is a vehicle for some glamour-puss with two expressions and eighteen changes of costume, or for some male idol of the muddled millions with a permanent hangover, six worn-out acting tricks, the build of a lifeguard, and the mentality of a chicken-strangler.
