Your nervous system will always choose a familiar hell over an unfamiliar heaven. –Sarah Alpern
Isn't it interesting that the only constant in life is change, yet we humans are hard-wired to avoid it? I see multiple examples of this in my life. This is what keeps people mired in addiction... "the devil you know..." I am so thankful for the 12-Step programs that offer folks a (simple but not easy) plan to reach the heaven of recovery. I see in myself that I am very familiar with aches and pains, but being pain-free with no physical issues? That is a heaven that I find difficult to imagine. I'm thinking this is the basis for the cliche that men "marry their mother" and women "marry their father."
This one deserves much more pondering!
