Anybody want spare change?

jon carroll writes, in an article about change:

"Change is bad. You know that, I know that, cats know that. The reason we have so many soothing aphorisms about change is to make us calm in the face of the inevitable.

Humans say, "This is all part of some larger unknowable plan." Cats dash madly around the house and urinate in inappropriate places. I ask you candidly:

Which is the better solution? Which produces greater serenity?"

i'll tell you; the solution that seems more appropriate to me and the solution that i usually follow through with are not the same.
