"I am"Nothing lasts forever. That's the tragedy and the miracle of existence that everything is impermanent. Everything changes. All we can do is make the best of the time we have. And go down shooting, naturally". -Mira Grant

Answer 27

Everything changes.

Question 28

a. Stuff doesn't exist in some sort of undefined space. A thing (anything) must be located somewhere. In ecological terms, that means it must have some sort of interactions with both living and nonliving parts of the world around it. In a household, anything that's not in an "appropriate" place gets moved to a "better" place or is discarded. It stretches the analogy a bit to try to fit it to ecology, but it's not grotesquely different.

Answer 28

Everything goes somewhere.
