Abstract
This chapter argues that the question from what should we save things is best answered not by a list of particular kinds of changes, but by changes on terms that we cannot accept. The chapter explores a range of different sources of change and explains how the terms on which those changes are experienced shapes the meaning of the change and points toward how it ought to be managed. It discusses how narrative, related to both the source of change and our response to it, influences the valence of change, and explores how our cares and attachments can both constrain and shape our agency. Particular attention is paid to change created by colonialism and armed conflict.
