adaptation

Description

Adaptation is the art of self-preservation masquerading as flexibility to survive. It excels at feigning enthusiasm for change while actually investing minimal effort and maximum excuses. When new rules descend, it boasts compliance faster than anyone, chasing momentary peace. The secret to winning over the environment lies in acting changed without truly changing.
