As arguably the smartest animal (sometimes I beg to differ) we are creatures of habit as like any other species. We like things when they occur consistantly and we know what to expect. What we don't like is change. I'll admit it. But, change is inevitable. It means that we are growing, and without growth there is not life, right?
