Stability is not the enemy. When it emerges naturally -- through shared trust, resilient systems, and adaptive feedback loops -- it can lay the groundwork for prosperity, harmony, and long-term confidence. True stability, like a well-rooted tree, bends in the wind and survives the storm. But the stability that is engineered, that is imposed by decree or defended at all costs, tells a different story. Forced stability is brittle. It masks weakness. It clings to control even as the ground shifts beneath it.
