Passion for Dead Leaves

What does it mean to have a Passion for Dead Leaves?
It means to love what is old.
To love what is past.
To love what is dead.

But it can mean more than that.
It can mean to resent the new.
To fear the future.
To believe that change is bad.

It can mean to oppose all change.
To oppose developments that change old environments.
To oppose fashions that change old traditions.
To oppose new ideas that change old values.
To believe that old was good and new is bad.

But is that right or wrong?
Change can be for the worse.
New developments can destroy what was worth keeping.
New fashions can destroy good traditions.
New ideas can be dangerous or stupid.
