Understanding this quote
The quote presents change as something that becomes understandable through participation, not distance. “Plunge into it” suggests facing change directly, while “move with it” suggests adapting as circumstances shift. “Join the dance” extends the comparison: change has a rhythm and movement that people may need to follow rather than resist from the sidelines.
