Change is inherently painful. We do not tend to choose it if we are given a choice.45 We gravitate toward homeostasis, and when we break out of it, it often feels like some terrible mistake has been made.

The pressures to grow and adapt are too strong to resist, and the few who are unwilling or unable to adapt are regarded as immature or impaired.
