Because it is so easy to get stuck in a rut and scary to get out.

We all have our comfort zones that we try to stay in. I don't think we "Hate" change as much as we fear it.

What I believe we really fear is failing. We know how to do it the old way, but "this new way,,,,,,errr I don't know."

In essence, we are all afraid of the dark, metaphorically speaking.

sorry if that made you unhappy......but thats the reason some don't like change. If something doesn't need to be changed people don't like when people change it.

Hate is powerful and easy to attain. it makes people feel strong and right and the rush becomes addictive.
