If we are not able to change, it is because we cannot cease to be. It is distressing to undergo the transition from being to not being, that is to say, to change. It is not anguishing that the environment changes, but that our skiing changes.
Our skiing reality is change, however, the only real thing is what changes. And why change anguishes us? It anguishes us because we resist to end being, to the possibility of not being anything until we are something else, and this uncertainty is what mortifies us.
When we undergo a change, it is possible that our skiing reality may differ, as it involves uncertainty, which can be distressing. We do not change because we pretend a ‘predictable’ skiing. However, if we do not undergo change, we will not be able to fully realize our potential.
There is change because there is a skiing that is not yet present, and by changing, we will cease to be the skiers we are. Therefore, breaking away from this binary scheme of being and not being can be distressing. We are distressed that there are possibilities to change and that we have to choose one, but we are also distressed if there are none.
