Work for years to get out of it and then, for those that realize they want to get back, work for years to stay in it more of the time. The great habit. So many things that we tell ourselves are in the way. They are, as they would surely break or fall away if we refused to address them in the ways we have. If we weren't attached to those things then we could let them, but we are and so we avoid the pain of allowing them to disintegrate or detach from us. When our habit is strong and we think clearly we will avoid making decisions that would lead us out to attach to tenuous and unstable circumstances. Feeling the pull away from where we like to be we can avoid it. Work still, but the easiest thing to do knowing how difficult not doing it will be.
