Aidan in “Going Dutch”

[narrating] The only constant in life is change. People, as a species, are in a constant state of metamorphoses. Just when we get comfortable swimming in the sea, we end up on land. The moment we become accustom to crawling, we stand on two legs. Our instinct is to resist change, to fear it. So we wrap a pretty word like evolution around it and hope it’ll make the pill easier to swallow. The thing is, change doesn’t care if you love it or you hate it; it’s indifferent. Intractable. And it will not be denied.
