GSHAYO

- Way things are now,

- The condition or state of affairs that currently exists,

- Present situation or way things usually are.

- (The mess we’re in, Ronald Reagan

According to Wikipedia and other online dictionary, to maintain the status quo is to keep the things the way they presently are, or "the state in which before", means "the state of affairs that existed previously". In other words “the mess we’re in” is a Latin Origin word.

This is against change, remember it is impossible to grow without change, change is the evidence of life, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything.


Arguing to preserve the status quo is usually done in the context of opposing a large, often radical change.
What people wants is progress, it’s impossible to have it without change.


The question is; do we want our income, Success, Education, job, houses, property, business or anything we desire to maintain the Status Quo or The mess we’re in now?
