Is it silly to be afraid of change?

I guess a more suitable question would be is it silly to be afraid of something that is inevitable? Realistically, things have to change. If human society wants to progress in any manner whatsoever, then change needs to not only be tolerated, but welcomed. People need to keep an open-mind to all options. Just because something that has not been done before, does not mean that it will not work, and I think it's necessary for people to open up to that idea. I mean, things change all the time. Your age changes, time changes, the date changes. I mean, people are usually proud to say that they change their clothes, since its just a societal expectation. I mean, a lot of other things have greater risks, but changing clothes has done wonders for the smell of people, so I think that changing other things can also do wonders for other things. In short, that is why I think it is sill to be afraid of change.
